The track started out very promising, with a great chord progression and a very nice little sine lead. One thing I noticed right off, though, was that the tambourine in the drum loop was quite harsh and abrasive. You might want to consider turning the tamb. down a bit, or if it's part of a loop you may wish to EQ the hi-mids down a healthy amount. As the song progresses, it loses focus and towards the end turns into one big mid-range mush. You've got too many instruments in the same frequency range fighting for bandwidth--all those tasty distorted lead synths playing at once do bad things for the mix. By themselves they sound great, no doubt, but all at once is a problem. Also, I think the song drags on a bit before you go into the breakdown--might want to either shorten it up a bit, or work on making it more interesting.
All that being said, this is a promising track. An interesting listen, for one thing, and that chord progression and sine lead just take the cake for me. I'd say keep working on it, if you can, and cut back on some of those distorted leads. Perhaps cut down on your reverb usage too, as that can muddy up a song double-quick.
thanx for the honest review man! Ill crank the release on those distorted guys wayyy back causi im noticing the same, and it needs MOOORe bass at the end. and those breakdowns, Thanks again!
I'm always wary of "beat artists," as there's a lot of sub-par rap beats out there. I was pleasantly surprised with this one, though! Really like that slinky lead synth in there, and a nice sound overall. I'd recommend turning down the volume on some of that hard-panned ethnic percussion, as it overwhelms just a bit, but other than that this is quite nice! Good stuff, sir.

I really like this type of reviews like yours. Thanks for it. The ethnic percussions that you heard are loops. Unfortunately the guy who recorded and mixed it really made it hard panned and i cant change it:( I also don't like the reverb on those enstruments. Those are much for my ears. Happy to hear that you like it. Thanks for ur review again.
