Not a bad track. I think it would of been better tho if the vocal wasn't playing as much
as it is or at least with more/longer breaks from it.

Sickkk beat tho!

I liked it! Very DJ Shadow-esque. Though I think some improvements could be made. Since this a very sample-based piece of instrumental hip hop, I would've loved to hear some more chopping and slicing of the JFK sample to create vocal hooks out of said sample, akin to something you'd hear on J Dilla's "Donuts" or "Since I Left You" by the Avalanches. Creative and unique sample slicing is what can make an instrumental hip hop piece in this vein much more memorable and effective. Aside from that, I would've also liked a bit more detail in the percussion, maybe adding more fills/ beat switch-ups to keep it engaging. Very nice start though, and I can tell you have a great ear for textures and soundscaping.

Wow! thank you! I admit I don't know yet on how to vocal slice... and a plenty of other stuff. I am just starting to grasp producing and I know I need to study more to make my music good.
Thank you for a helpful critique.
