CYOL (RD 1): Infamous Allies Records (Mooney) vs Wyoming Sounds (Chicity

*You aint gotta count this as a vote if you running with 3 judges. Chicity just asked for a critique so I broke it down as If It were a vote



Sales -Wyoming Sounds takes this one all day bruh. Theres really no need to go into it Drake and Cardi alone locks this down for him. None of the artist on Infamous can put up the numbers that the artist on this label can at the end of the day.

Critical Acclaim - Another one for Wyoming Sounds.. with Drake and Cardi at the forefront theres no stopping this label when it comes to this category either. Any project that they drop is gonna be well recieved by the masses more than likely and Drake is definitely taking home some awards. Cardi too probably. On Infamous Records I could see projects from Teyana, Diddy, The Lox and the Fugees being well recieved but they not taking home any awards for them plus the other artist on Wyoming would still crush them in this category.

Cohesion - Wyoming Sounds. Both labels are filled with artist that compliment eachother. Only thing that hurts Chi label in my opinion is DMX being on it, that nigga aint needed. Infamous Records had a heavy focus on group acts. In my opinion Mooney over did it with that, its like he went in and just grabbed every group he could just because he could. Some times less is more, bruh. I don't think i'd ever have more than 1 group on a label. It just makes it seem cluttered

Cover Art - Infamous Records hands down. The Cool Kids Cover, the Still No Way Out cover and the Teyana Taylor cover are the stand outs. The Misunderstood album that Wyoming Sounds dropped wasnt too bad and the Cardi B one was aight too but thats about it. For yall to be new to do this you didn't do too bad on your covers compared to some of the shit we used to see submitted by new people when they'd join the game on the IC. With that being said theres always room for improvement. Yall can only get better from here and I don't know what else I can say that @Sion hasn't already about designing covers. Study the artist that you're designing for, look at actual album covers and listen to their music so you can pick out things that you might be able to incorporate into your designs.

Longevity - Wyoming Sounds. Just cause I'm not sure how much longer the artist on Infamous Records are gonna be around. Meanwhile Drake, Future, Ross, Meek all seem like they're here to stay

@Chicity you got a hell of a label on your hands. Its something that I said from the start whenever I saw it. @Mooney I dont know what you were going for with your label bruh but it seems almost like you built it around what you liked and not what would secure you votes. You can't do that in this game if you wanna win. Peep how Hustle had Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Adele on his label. I doubt he likes their music but he knows that they be moving units so he signed them.
 
Dope critique b

I know my weak point is covers and that's gonna be a minute. I started looking at covers today and I definitely could have redid the Future joint lol

As far as X...I don't know. I thought him and Dame would bring some NY to the label but I didn't think about this X lol. I was in like 98 99 or something

Again, dope critique @TonyDubbz. I'm a try to incorporate this stuff next time I play.
