    beat is phat...I like the bass line in this the most, the string arrangements sound well organized and the transition is too dope toward the end...you always composed ? ill...question tho....as far the melody, would you have the artist follow the melody in the strings with their vocals or how would you do it....just wondering.

    to be honest i dont know. When i made it i guess i was just trying to be melodic. But when i think about it, it could work but im not sure how well. But my first instinct when i made it was to just use that melody as a backdrop to whatever the artist wants to put over it.

    yea Im sure you could change the meoldy if you needed. either way ? is tight, just wondering tho..u know how some songwriters place the melody to the lyrics around melodies in the beat...

    yeah i know what u mean. In that good girl joint i got on here the songwriter/singer mimicked the lead melody for the chorus. Made it sound real official. I guess it depends on how singable the melody is.
