Nice but lower the levels with those drums.
No
Try it let me hear bro.
I like the melody a lot.
Not sure if you really did it.
The drums just seem to load and over powering and out of place.
I think if they are lowered it would make it groove more.
you have no idea what you’re talking about
My bad. I meant "too loud".
Anyways. Whatever.
it is like 'TICK TICK TOCK TICK TICK TOCK".
Naw dude.
First of all this is not mastered, second it’s a quick mix I did , last it’s sound cloud, learn about lossy compression. It aint that serious.
Relax.
I gave my opinion.
You ain't gonna die based on what I think.
If you want to even do music as a hobby you have to respect it as an art to be shared.
People with different experiences will have their thoughts and opinions.
As an artist you have to take it all in grow and learn.
Enough though. Cause I see you a nigga that can't be talked to.
Have a good one.
Diddy: yeah daddy I know you like to party, when we gonna party party again truth
Big Lots strikes deal to keep hundreds of stores open and save jobs
The discount chain said it agreed to a sale transaction with an investment firm which would allow hundreds of stores to stay open by transferring its property to other retailers and companies.

Big Lots, the discount chain that filed for bankruptcy in September, said Friday that it agreed to a sale transaction with an investment firm, allowing hundreds of stores to stay open by transferring its property to other retailers and companies.
The Columbus, Ohio-based company recently announced it was preparing to close its remaining 963 locations after an acquisition by private-equity firm Nexus Capital Management fell through. Big Lots’ new deal is with Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, which will facilitate the transfer of its brand, stores and distribution centers.
Variety Wholesalers, which owns more than 400 retail stores including Bargain Town, Bill’s Dollar Stores and Maxway, will acquire between 200 and 400 Big Lots stores and up to two distribution centers, according to Big Lots’ news release.
Big Lots’ new deal could prevent thousands of its employees from being laid off. Variety Wholesalers said it may employ Big Lots staff at the stores and distribution centers, as well as some corporate associates.
“This sale agreement and transfer present the strongest opportunity to preserve jobs, maximize value for the estate and ensure continuity of the Big Lots brand. We are grateful to our associates nationwide for their grit and resilience throughout this process,” said Bruce Thorn, Big Lots’ president and chief executive.
It’s unclear how many Big Lots employees could remain but up to 555 corporate employees were at risk of losing their job, according to a layoff notice.Another 505 employees were at risk in Pennsylvania beginning January 6, according to another notice filed by the company.
A Big Lots spokesperson told CNN on Saturday that they could not provide additional details about the deal.
Big Lots is among the many well-known retailers to file for bankruptcy in 2024 as consumers cut into discretionary spending. Last week, Party Cityannounced it filed for bankruptcy protection and would close all of its more than 800 stores.
Retail chains have cited high inflation and interest rates for struggling sales. Meanwhile, consumers have sought value over lower costs — a key reason bargain stores have struggled while Walmart and Amazon have thrived.

Big Lots reopen 218 stores after major updates - here's what you'll see inside
Big Lots filed for bankruptcy in 2024, but now over 200 stores will reopen with a new owner

During a difficult time for retail, one store is reopening over 200 stores after seeing closures last year.
Brick-and-mortar stores have seen significant closures in the last few years. Macy’s announced in January it will close 150 underperforming stores across the country, while Joann is shuttering all of its stores after filing for bankruptcy. Kohl's also announced the closure of 27 stores throughout the US.
Big Lots seemed to be on a similar path after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2024. A recent acquisition, however, has allowed the discount store to reopen multiple locations across several states. Meanwhile, major changes are coming to over 4,000 Wells Fargo locations nationwide.
Variety Wholesalers has taken over 219 Big Lots stores and two distribution centers from previous owners Gordon Brothers Retail Partners. After renovating the locations, the first phase of reopenings launched April 10.
So far, nine stores have reopened. Those locations are:
- 1342 Indian Mound Dr., Mount Sterling, Kentucky
- 755 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, Louisiana
- 2605 W Main St, Tupelo, Mississippi
- 5778 Hwy 80 E, Pearl, Mississippi
- 1432 E Dixie Dr., Asheboro, North Carolina
- 1041 S Riverside Dr., Clarksville, Tennessee
- 744 Nashville Pike, Gallatin,. Tennessee
- 220 Dickson Plaza Dr., Dickson, Tennessee
- 2911 Hershberger Rd NW, Roanoke, Virginia
"We're opening stores quickly so we can serve the community. We know the stores won't be perfect to start, but each week we'll add more new products as we build toward the grand opening celebration in the fall. Every time a customer visits Big Lots! we want them to find something new and exciting!"
