I've recorded over 200 songs. Some of my compositions are a lot more complex. Others are simpler. It always depends on what I'm going for. For this song, I wanted the energy to pick up more in the second verse, which the piano definitely helps increase, before dropping the complexity of the piano in the third verse when it becomes more contemplative. Listeners will pick up on new things with each listen, so I'm ok if they miss a few things the first time through as long as the general feel and meaning are there, which they definitely are.
I listened to Bad Minute. Lots of energy, and obviously a song you're passionate about, which is always what matters most in music. The grimey quality to the vocal delivery reminds me of Onyx. "Slam! Duh-du-duh." Great job on the song!

I wrote "How Do You Want To Be Great?" as part of the NBA2K Beats The Search Contest to have my music potentially used in the game. While they didn't choose it as a contest winner, I'm still very happy with how the song came out, so I released it on Friday. First verse pumps up the listener. Second verse is about paths to greatness. Third is about motivations for greatness. Definitely about basketball, but also a lot of metaphors about different ways to make a positive impact upon others.
