I really don't get all the anti-Awar comments. He's dope.

Video is pretty ill, cept the blood looked kinda corny.
Anwar kinda reminds me of Dos Noun, delivery wise.
He's aiiiiight on this track.
Beat is ok.
Overall, not bad. Y'all 3 doing a whole release together?

Forgive me if I'm outta the loop.

nicely done!

i liked the story line in there, the shot with you (iCON) at the beginning was dope, just wish the camera was a bit steadier for better effect. (was kind of an issue for me throughout the vid) but all in all, it looks beautiful, effects were dope.

i like this more than the last vid you posted

Mostly I just liked the pull out to reveal "this is not just a dumb rapper with a gun in his hand as a prop". Then I think it got a bit overwrought and corny after that.

Also there was a moment of terror when I realize that 2nd dude's verse was over and there was enough time left for Vanderslice to show up on camera.

Icon is dope but not listening because of Vanderslice's involvement

Pretty dope, song...Hobbs is that dude right now, he just did that new G&E video featuring Slug, Aes, and Mistah Fab, good job Icon...

First verse was better than the second.

First part of the video was better than the second.

All around, a decent song, marred by the latter part.

Not feeling MC Serch's son.

Dope beat, unfortunately.

Icon is great on this. He needs to stop working with people who are far below his talent level. Same goes for Pack FM.

Out of curiosity who would you guys have me work with?

Thanks for the constructive criticism and the kind words.

overdubs are too loud on icon's vocals
other than that verse is good

beat is grandiose and corny... sounds very generic

other dude is blah

vid is clean, though

Your damned self. You are dope, most others are not. Of the people I know you have an association with, Pack FM appears to be a good match.

There are very few rappers I care about anymore, so I'd say you should try and work with the following if you can:

Jay Electronica
NYOIL
Mayhem Lauren
Milano
Cool Calm Pete

Sky's the limit. Go for yours.

I'm not trying to kill the game...and I'm not hating, dude
I just don't like this beat or the other
they both sound grandiose and corny

i like it. as someone else said though, the camera is unsteady during your entire verse iCon. everything else looks and sounds dope from my perspective.
