Music Review for Milliondollar Mind Frame’s – Realism

This music has a heavy yet polished sounding hip-hop presentation to it that oozes professional artistry, big beats, and musical attitude. The track ‘Realism’ showcases an array of fairly classic sounding hip-hop moments, the bass heavy beat, the haunting array of riffs performed by the synths or bells or strings. There’s an overwhelming feeling of electronica, but you can hear the music taking over the stage at a live show. The whole track has a dark and dirty vibe to it from start to finish. The vocals are fairly quiet in the mix, maybe leaving space for interpretation, collaboration, remixing. The hook stands out a fair bit, which is always a good quality, though the volume of it is still pretty quiet compared to the rest of the track. Never being fake, always being real – the strength is there, the hook has it’s depth, and the music portrays the idea and the attitude fairly appropriately.

On a creative level, the music stops and starts a lot, a number of different elements, sounds, and effects are featured and played with right the way through. The polished style of production, as mentioned earlier, is a huge selling point for this music. The mood is consistent, the artists involved seem to know exactly what they were aiming for, what they were hoping to achieve, who their audience would be – and all of this works in favour of the music and in favour of building a lasting career. There’s a lot of room for delving a little deeper into the lyrical side of the track, but as a piece of music it sets the vibe just as you’d expect it to. The track ‘Realism’ actually has the effect of being both chilled and fairly epic sounding, all at the same time. Always an interesting thing to achieve.
