But anyways i saw your works, and you are quite good too, im making more beats later on, so ill keep you in mind!

Legit shit son.

I never told you, but this track is one of the best I've ever heard, hence why I used it for my track "Inquest". Keep making stuff like this, but different. Cause that makes sense, lol.

Thanks for this, man!

It's got a great beat, and you totally had me jamming to the rhythm. I can imagine this with some interesting variations on those string harmonies; not to say that I don't totally dig it as is, and I've never really been that into the Hip Hop genre, so...well done! The brief interlude of sparseness near the middle is pretty cool; it's one of the few times when you can really hear that sweet bass line. I'd be curious to see (hear?) what kind of lyrics you would come up to go along with this.

I was kind of hoping for a little more variety in the harmony progressions. The combination of brass and strings just work so well together...

Thanks i appreciate a lot your review! Thanks mate! I worked a lot in this one :P

Hey man! I hear you want a review! It's been awhile, hasn't it. I certainly remember you from before - remember me?

Anyway. Can't get too off into that - you need some feedback.

THE GOOD:
-The mixing on this is a lot better than your old songs.
-I like the samples and SFX you have throughout the song, they work really well.
-Your drum loops aren't repetitive at all - they vary MORE than enough throughout the song.
-The sections of this are really cool, I particularly like the more chill breakdown at 1:47 with the electric piano and the little glitchy drums.
-You've improved a lot. Just hearing how much you've improved since before is great. ;)

THE NOT-AS-GOOD:
-The horn samples initially seem to cut off a little bit too much at the end - I feel like they should have just a little bit of reverb to transition into the next chord rather than completely stopping before the next one.
-I think you could stand to have the chord progression change a little bit more, or transition into a second section. While I'm aware that this is hip-hop, it could still stand to have at least a B section for chords.
-I don't quite see the 'chorus' of this. There are three distinct sections, but what's the main 'tune' other than that staccato string tune? Would be nice to have more than just chords.
-At about 2:30, it starts getting noticeably repetitive. It also just seems a bit 'much', particularly since it doesn't change at all until it fades out to the end.
-...THE OUTRO. IS. A. FADEOUT. D: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Overall:
Ok, honestly. This is really cool, I like it. Could use a bit more of a tune, gets a *little* too loud at times (2:30 to 3:13, I'm looking at you), but still. It's great. I like it.

Hopefully this was helpful, man!
