Just look at what happened to Wiz Khalifia and Lil Wayne once they went to smoking yet you still see Eminem and he still raps like a boss like before since he doesn't smoke or drink. Anyways, his music is good and I do like the first one. He should be less focused on the beats and more focused on the meaning of the music. Also, less swears should be used in his music > don't want to end up like Lil Wayne with you know that word that keeps coming out his mouth, it kind of offends people. It's alright to use it once or twice but it shouldn't be used more than like 5-10 times. You should share this to more websites and listen to the people's feedback is what is better than getting the fame and money. Tell your friend not to think of that, but to think of the music he creates and how proud he is of it.
Really really appreciate the feedback! He doesn't drink or smoke regularly, quite rare really. I'll definitely let him know about the swearing as it's the same thing I was thinking to myself when I heard it. Honestly he's still not thinking about the fame or the money he was doing this as a hobby up until recently where he'd been getting good feedback locally but like I mentioned the island is so small and supportive of it's own people we both want to know what kind of feedback he'd be getting globally. He doesn't ask the radio stations to air his music they ask him and he's not out here trying to force his music in people's faces, commenting on Youtube videos introducing himself or any of that. He believes that if he shares it on Youtube and Facebook if it's good people will share it. The most he says is "If you like it, share it" he's that kind of guy.
Once again though, really appreciate the feedback and I'll pass it on!
