Today I'll be reviewing THE ONLY WAY, A project by artist Flight and Willz. So let's get it started. The project starts off with the track IZMWay and I really like the smooth vibe of it. As the vocals come in during the track I will say that they seem a tad bit too loud and harsh for such a sultry hip hop beat. I think if they came in a little softer it would mesh better as a whole. Second verse by Willz is a better example of what I mean. "Go. Ew" follows changing up the vibe of the music with a drum heavy piano guitar beat that reminds me of something early Pharell would produce for Clipse but the two artist in reviewing came off like The Cool Kids on it. "GunnaWay (Gun Em Down)" has a nice bounce to it and actually has a concept and hook type section that can be recognized right away... Both lyricist seem like they enjoyed rapping and recording this track and that's always a good thing when you can tell. "How Did You Figure" has a dope beat to it. Definitely something that I would recommend the duo performing at any nightclub showcases. Bag Influence is an okay track but the flow in the verses seemed a little sloppy at times. I think this track could have been left off of the project. Mags vs. Clips is a cool track as well. Reminded me of Three Six Mafia at times! That's not a bad thing! TokyoWay is next and I see a familiar name for one of the features. Shout out to Navelle. Getting into the track I think the hook could have been cleaner quality wise and it would have added to the enjoyment of it. The energy is def there tho! WolvesWay has a dope Kanye sample and I notice a theme now with WAY being included in the song titles. Always dope to have a consistent concept thruout your project. It solidifies it so salute for that! EZ Call starts and I'm a little iffy on the beat but it grew on me the more I listened to it. This is probably a track that the duo can perform LIVE as well. Something the crowd can potentially sway too. I'm not really feeling Eternity that much. Intro was cool and then it went downhill from there. Things start to pick back up about a minute into the track tho! SUMMARY This project seems like something two homeboys worked together on in a home studio. Nothing wrong with that! Always good to stay productive! I would say that quality could be improved when it is time for a more serious album release. I would say do a video for IZMWay to promote the project and hit the streets! 3/5
