They don't come off as your "average" female emcees. I can tell a lot of thought

I tell every artist who submits material to me for The Source's Unsigned Hype the same thing - you have to establish yourself as an artist and let the listener know what your strong points are. I listened to the album. So here are my thoughts.
The variety of female MC's on the album can actually spit. I see a lot of potential lyrically. They don't come off as your "average" female emcees. I can tell a lot of thought went into the lyrics and they can actually rap. Great MC's learn how to get inside a beat and become a part of it - as awkward as that may sound. Its something you can only do with practicing and an ear for music.
I think a lot of the hooks work as well - which is probably the hardest thing for any upcoming MC to work on. Shit - even cats with deals haven't learned how to make good hooks.
There are some beats that capture the emotion or essence of the song. I'm really really hard on beats. Personally, I'm a fan of live instrumentation and sampling.
I see promise from the MC's on the album - which is a good thing because if your artists are wack it doesn't make a difference what you do. I think you guys come together with some great concepts and ideas. The best thing is you have some MC's who can spit. That is the most important and promising thing. Stay at it.

I was minding my business walking down west 4th in NYC and this woman asked me "do you have pretty pink panties?" what?! "do you have your pretty pink panties? its my cd." she says with a wink and a smile. They have a crew and are out there in the streets really selling hard. She gave me a flyer that sent me to WWW.LIONFOXENT.COM. I have to say, they're working it in the streets, they're working it online and they're working it on CDBABY.com, you gotta love hard work and the music is good stuff. If this is just the ladies of lionfox, i have got to see what the whole lionfox crew is about...
