Newcomers to the music industry, Kalin and Myles, have released an EP( shorter version of an album) called Dedication. The songs on this album is an amazing and skillfully made with a mix of pop, hip- hop and R&B.

When I heard the first song on their EP called, Trampoline, I was not very  impressed with their lyrics as they compared girls to trampolines . In fact, me being a female, I found them very disgusting and not very respectful, especially with the first verse being, “You turn me on, I like what I see- When you bounce that thang like a trampoline- Girl you know this is your song, you know you a freak- So bounce it for me…” Immediately, the lyrics sound like any other rap song talking about a girl’s butt and how she twerks and “gets low” on the floor. Other than the very sexual and disrespectful themes toward women, I like the beat and how the duo incorporated different genres into the actual music. Its very Austin Mahone with very familiar Timbaland themes. The music alone without the lyrics is a very beautiful, modern and smooth melody that is art and catchy.

Unlike the first track, the other songs on the album were not as vulgar.

I Don’t Really Care, has a very symphonic and party rap sound that is geniously put together to create the perfect inspirational harmony. It is still a classy song with the violins and piano in the background but the party like bass makes it a fun song to dance to.   “Everybody gotta get it started from the bottom even if you hit a couple problems (hit a couple problems)That don’t mean it’s going’ bad, you just gotta work it out, get it strong till it’s rockin’ (strong till it’s rockin.’)”

Dedication is a standout from the rest of the EP. Although it still has the same party rap melody and hip-hop beat, the song is slower and more relaxed. It’s soft harmony is better fit for a couple going through a tough time than for party music

The last song on the EP titled ,You’re The Only One I Need, is very fiesta-ish but still beautifully written. Like the last song, it is written for a couple but is not a slow song. This is the type of song for a couple needing to remember that fun and giddish feeling they got when they first got together with their significant other.

If you haven’t gotten the Dynamic Duos EP yet, it is still available or head on to Youtube or Spotify to download. Overall, I give this 3.5 out of 5 stars.Kalin and Myles
