I love those samples, I agree with Kus about needing a better mix but your sound is totally there, i'm working on improving my mix too that's where I'm at with things right now. Let the drums stand out more in your mix don't let the samples over take them.
hey in that second beat my constructive criticism would be to add some variation and that could just be by placing what you started doing at 3:10 where the song changed, to an earlier point in the beat to keep things moving forward. thank you for your feedback as well!
Yes! For a little while now I've been reading articles where everyone is so surprised that they're increasing, but I'm just over here like people finally are understanding something really great. It's really exciting to see this trend.
