"Not too shabby"

I could see this becoming something big. But here's your problem: your strings section sound like something out of a video game (I was thinking along the lines of FF). Which isn't bad for an NG submission, mind you, but it wouldn't be marketable on the mass-production scale. Your beats and all are very dirty south style, which people like these days. But your strings all sound distant, and in some cases distorted oddly. Maybe kill the strings in one track, bring in something like the Whisper song has, something sounding like muted toms. More variety.
Author's Response:
NG doesn't really need more variety. These kids are all into this "snap beat" bullshit that's out now. Young Joc for example, who just so happens to suck too. If you would listen to the other submissions crowding this section of the portal(excluding Reven and Cajete's entries) you'll see the level most of these guys are on at the moment. lol You've got the right idea though, this beat does suck. I'm now curious to hear some of your work. Your standards are somehow higher than the usual NG listener's. Thanks for the review.
Real talk.
