Parts are super cool. Some of the rhymes in the “raps” are mediocre. The point, imo, should be more about hard work and perseverance than “dreaming. ” But who am I to judge? I have no published songs to my name. We are having lots of fun with it. Would be nice if performance tracks were available as a download. My class is only 9 people; I don’t want to spend $120 for the whole deal.
