So I have an idea of making an album (dont wanna call it a mixtape) called The CityLife Suite and I need a little advice on making songs since I'm new to this. How should I approach this?

I thought you were done with the mixtape, you went backwards. Make the music first then all the visuals etc

Agreed. A lot of people are more worried with coming up with titles and covers before they even start the music.

The music will tell you how to approach all the aspects.

Rule #2 Make music that you would love to hear, you have to like your own music.

Including negative stuff. Sometimes I feel like people talk about how everyone used to hate them and stuff to seem like some hero when it just wasn't so

I just got back the song I did with 9-EL and I want to know your thoughts. I have the 2nd verse.
