    Gonna be honest, I love this. Grew up with a lot of funk and jazz on my soul and this really does it well. As a blues pianist, I can say that you really nailed this track. Marketing wise, Saying it's "THIS PERSON HERE" Kind of pulls away from any professionalism. Cover bands don't get famous, man.
    It may get you some amateur rappers in the short term who google "Mac Miller Type Beat" But if you want long term, it's not going to work well, your pseudonym isn't even in the title, which is how your whole branding is established. I say all this because I really liked the music, but your marketing is hurting you in the long run. Because to them, you're not selling them your services, you're selling them the rights to use your copying machine. It's fine to make songs/tracks/beats that are similar to others, familiarity bias actually helps, but straight up saying that it's "THIS PERSON HERE" as most of the title defeats of having an artist name.
    ANYWAYS, I know you didn't post it here for a music marketing lesson, so my apologies, I tend to get carried away. Still, the song sounds great, well mixed and great rhythmic elements and some funky chord progression that I'm definitely a huge fan of.

Hi Pzychosis,

Thank you very much for the kind praises to the production, really appreciated.

When it comes to marketing, the aim of the page atm id beat-sale, but I totally agree with you as for artist imagery.

Thank you
