While Shaykey doesn't showcase advanced beat juggle patterns, the overall routine was executed concisely and smoothly. Good job, Shaykey. You're improving as a Turntablist, and watching you execute your set was fun! You are pointed in a very creative direction. Respect.

I appreciate how you structured everything. Composing the beginning sections lyrically calling it out. Timing was a little bit of an issue during some juggles. You're on the right track though. Keep going.
