The Intro hits hard, the confidence of Virghost voice is apparent. And immediately you can tell rap is what he do. What grabs you is his stand point, on hip-hop and life, and he is not coming at you softly. You either like what he say or you hate it. His rap is delivered flawlessly on this record and this record holds your attention strong. The hypnotic beat hits and rarely changes form as his flow navigates perfectly. The second song "Visibiltiy" slows down the tempo, and jumps the word play. The beat takes the back seat as the piano overshadows all, the chorus lacks to grab the same impact as the lyrics. The song is very deep on its approach but lacks to grab as it's too much of a tempo drop so early in the album. Good song with bad placement. Flying Nimbus, cleans the dark air given with the beat and constant sample. Its good ear music and very uplifting. He takes a play on how most musicians are more iconic after they past. His lyrics grow which are very well placed, feeling the passion grow with each verse. But "Assassin Theme" comes in and grants the listener chills. His flow is reminisce to the greats, its actually so good that you could fall into a trance and miss the actually word play. The chorus is divine, a poise, a poetry hip hop. As the song goes you just get a feeling of soulful kickback as this is beyond good hip hop this a pure talent, untaught. This record is what hip hop heads kill over. The beats compliment the word play, and the wordplay is subtle this is Virghost best lane to drive in. Period. This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. Your soul goes into silence, as this record brings you to awe. "Take back and Rebel Theme's hold similar tones." Once again he delivers great word play but Take Back, don't really play up to the potential it could. He hits on similar topics of getting hip hop back to its golden era, in barrage of metaphors and direct puns. But the production and chorus just don't manage to grab and hold strong. Rebels Theme gives a pass to the southern artist and his city, Memphis. He actually puts one his shows in his chorus talking to his fans, about other artist in his city. This song is just good music and has that what happen to hip hop feel. Bounce down to "Salute" As its very apparent its a homage to 2pac. Which its done well, the chorus is different and is very "Bone Thugs". He featured a artist "Richace" which forms the song around his similar sound to 2pac. But it may be too close to Pac without being the essentials of Pac, which is obvious and hurts the song as a whole. "Children on Knowhere" Is another record that captures Virghost. It just feels good to listen to his music, which is all that matters. The fact that he does everything right on this record is what makes it shines. The chorus is great " very light, very hip hop and 90's which blends in with the vibe of his rap style. His passion for music is apparent and this type of message is great for the generation." His feature: Sincere Da Misfit, just don't hit hard enough, and really doesn't compliment Virghost style very well. He falls short to deliver the same passion as you may think he could of did better on a different record. "Trails" is one of the best productions on the album. This record jump into your chest, as Virghost hit you with real life problems of an up and coming rapper. Not a false story that most rappers like to tell to boost their image. He also hit on personal problems he has, the thing is while he is story telling the flow never drops and the song has a commercial hit vibe to it. This is one of the premiere songs on the record. The chorus is sung by "Megan J" which while sung well her vocals didn't sound clear and pierce through the headphones as Virghost voice did. He has a bounce to this record that just feels so refreshing. "Drunken Thoughts" take a much different tone. A slow mellow, dark feeling. Once again his rap carries the record, but towards the chorus it falls into uncertainty as a listener. Which could of been his attempt, but it felt to unguided, and was sporadic. "Pyramid" hits more of a poetic vibe, a listeners treasure, SO many deep lines that you literally have to stop the record and "go back" It has a undiscovered earthy tone, with a military drum line, and a spooky vibe to make you kind of question the whole tone. But, its done in such a artistic manner you just cant help to find yourself hypnotized. "Northaven Nights is dope, and he takes scenery of his city and paint it vividly. It has a constant wind blowing though the instrumental which gives you a night time on the stoop writing lyrics, feeling. You will vision his vision period. "F-ckin with my Grind" is a fun record, and the beat hits very reminiscent to old school southern hip hop. And virghost hits this style well, the chorus is fun, but lacks the professional sound. The singer range was low as the production should of been built more around her been able to express her talents stronger. It had the potential but the growth and the chorus wasn't strong enough. His rap features, are slight lacking as they don't hit the same simile that Virghost hits. And he stands out as the premiere artist on the record. "The Mirror" goes out on a strong note. But, not the strongest not what you would expect seeing how some of the other records where literally breath taking. Virghost delivers one of the most deep albums an hiphop artist has done in a while. This album is not for virgin ears of hiphop, the word play is complicated and his flow is flawless. Some choruses lack, some are just too formed around his verse style. Virghost has one of the most thought out, poetic albums I've ever heard. The good records are great, and he has potential to tell a story, without detriment to his flow. Trial And Error has few errors, almost just preferences, the lack of different messages hold the album back slightly. Virghost delivers and album that many rappers will never be ever to create. Through Trial and Error you find out why hip-hop can send you chills, and if you never got that experience, well here it is.
