"Not bad at all!"

Honestly, I'm not quite a big fan of the low-quality drumbeat. It seemed somewhat unrefined. I was expecting something pretty awesome with the way you led in with the hi-hat at the beginning (VERY cool, BTW, I suck at hats! Xo ), and while the minimally kick and snare seemed to work at first, it didn't quite give me a good, "professional" vibe (*is the pot calling the kettle black*) later on in the song. I love the bass, the keyboard and the organ, though! Real great stuff there, no doubt! The saxophone sounded pretty cheesy to me, but this could've been intentional or not. :) I can totally see this song in, like, a game or something, where you got the gangster/-a runnin' around in the city, ghetto probably, doin' his thang like only he can do, or even, say, in The Urbz: Sims in the City, or something. Yeah, that's what I pictured, and it fit really nicely. :3 The fact that I got that image so quickly is a good signal to me, LOL!
So, yeah, great work here, and I love the fusion jazz effect here. (Or is is acid jazz? I always get jazz-fused genres mixed up.) Real hip. I hope to see more guhroovy work like this from you soon, partner! Peace out from a fellow producer!
