Hi-Rez - Early Release

Hi-Rez - Early Release Review
Around a month ago, an unknown rapper by the name of Hi-Rez released a Mixtape on DatPiff titled “Early Release”. Hi-Rez is a 17 year old Caucasian coming out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. With a fan base of about 5 thousand, Early Release raked in 8000 downloads in only a month. Hi-Rez has opened shows for artists such as Chris Webby and Mac Miller, and is soon awaiting his turn to step into their spotlight.

For this Mixtape alone, he’s put out three music videos and has one in the works. The music videos were for the tracks “Gettin Started”  “The City” and “All I Have”, collectively gaining almost 200 000 views on YouTube.

Hi-Rez’s flow is above average, spitting some nasty verses in every song, making this a Mixtape a very pleasurable listen. Hi Rez is also able to make great hooks and choruses’ which are incorporated with many samples that his growing fan base seem to appreciate.

Final Analysis:

Favorite Song: Open House

Beats/Production: 9/10

Lyrics: 9.5/10

Originality: 8/10

Meaning: 8/10 <-- Talks about his life in general, school, parties, etc.
Final Rating: 9/10 A great up and coming artist, being compared to Webby and Mac, definitely should be on the lookout for his next Mixtape.
