Of this kid who goes to my school. He's going into 11th grade and raps, and I think he's really got talent. His name is Justin Carmona, and he's got one song on iTunes called "Summertime" under his groups' name Half & Half. He recently covered a Talib Kweli song, let me know what you guys think. I definitely think it's worth sharing.

Yeah he's really got potential I think, and if any of you guys have extra iTunes gift cards lying around or anything, check out "Summertime" by Half & Half on iTunes, it really is a good song and it would be awesome if you guys supported him

He's a good but the producing was kinda sketch. I could barely hear him and it sounded kinda muffled.

Yeah I see where you're coming from on that one. Listen to the preview of his song on iTunes though, I'm pretty sure its much clearer from what I can remember. Its actually a really good song too.

This is what's wrong with the ski community, they all think everything's ILLLLL cause they wanna be positive. I'm gonna say what you were all thinking "that was mediocre, kid needs a lot of work"

look that up on itunes and i had to turn it was up to hear anyone rapping, the producing needs some work. if they can get that figured out the song sounded like it could have some potential though.

well I'm not gonna disagree with you there, it could definitely be a bit clearer but I just really like the flow of it. And to the kid above.. I'm gonna have to strongly disagree with "needs a lot of work."

I'm insulted that he covered talib, and did a mediocre job. Tell him to write his own rhymes and not just memorize something, that means nothing. God I could probably repeat a song just as well if I wanted to, it means nothing. He needs to show his own flow, creativity, and style before I support him.

Actually he does write his own rhymes, in fact he spends all day at school writing them, I think he just wanted to cover this sounds because its got such a good beat. I get where you're coming from but that's nit all entirely true.
