Quality: at first listen, the drop off in quality is noticeable, but as the song goes on it slips to the back of your mind..you can enjoy this song for what it is..the production will hold you back outside of this site, but for the purpose of the contest, this is listenable and there is replay value
Flow: Zach has a smooth, polished flow for someone with a small track catalogue..he has a background in audio so that helps, but dont let that take away from what he's built..there are a few slips here and there, but something you'd expect from his experience..there are also times when you get lost in his rhythm and really get to enjoy what he's doing
Lyrics: multis galore..there were a few name drops so you'll have to listen close to see if you were mentioned..its always cool when an artist shows love for another, it helps grow the community..there were times when you tried to fit more than you could in your lines, which led to you slipping off beat, but again this is something that comes over time..you learn what you can and cannot comfortably do on a track and you build from there..Zach added a chorus to his track which was a nice touch..the transition from verse to chorus was seamless and really completed this piece
Beat: i love this beat, it screams Nas and you did a good job
Overall: Zach stepped out of his comfort zone to give us a special track for Letsbeef..the subject matter is on par with what was required and he meshed well with his beat choice..with some improvements, i can definitely see this as something like a theme song for the site..as it stands, 7/10

AfterThought
Quality: the quality is top notch..no complaints
Flow: Afterthought has a very polished flow..he can dance around with his lyrics and bring a cadence (see his chorus abilities) that very few here, if any, can..the vocals are laid with precision and you can tell he's very comfortable where he stands with his music
Lyrics: the content was short but sweet..Afterthought does a good job of changing up his style throughout the verse, keeping your ears perked..he doesnt stay on any rhyme scheme for too long and the content he does have is dope
Beat: i recognize this from a j cole freestyle, i wasn't the biggest fan of his drop, but you made this your own
Overall: This was a nice drop, but I dont think it was long enough to warrant the win..the chorus was a nice touch at the end, but unfortunately you left us wanting more where there was none..Afterthought would be the top consideration in my book if this was a complete song..as it stands, 7/10

Dizzy Dash
Quality: the quality is good, but not the best..it sounds like there are a few vocal tracks going at once and the static is adding up..your vocals are missing a "clean" factor, but it doesnt take away from the song
Flow: the aggression is dope..Dizzy definitely has a sound and he's polished it, but unfortunately, he maintains the same sound throughout and that takes away from the experience..ive only heard a few tracks from Dizzy, but id like to hear something with a different sound - i like what Dizzy has to offer, i want more
Lyrics: Dizzy is definitely a skilled writer..there are a lot of multis tied within the lyrics, and it makes for a good listen..but with all these packed lines, its hard to take something away from them..I enjoyed the chorus and it tied in well with the song
Beat: this was a nice choice for your sound..not my favorite
Overall: Dizzy is skilled as an artist and showed that in this track..there are a few small things holding him back from being the best, but nothing that cant be fixed..he is a relatively new name to me, so ill definitely be looking for new material..as it stands, 8/10
