I think it's totally fair that he got so much succes with good kid mad city. Solid productions all the way around, and his voice and flow is for me different in a good way, compered to the other guys who came up at the same time as him.
I really looking forward to a new album. But to be honest...
1. Get a good workflow, so you not always always stalling halfway through a beat.
2. Learn music theory. You don't have to be an expert, but get your basics straight.
3. challenge your taste. Try to make music genres you don't usually do. This is a good way to learn new production techniques...
I'm new at this site. I work together with Jobe of SoberMindedMusic, who told me about this place. I'm a beatmaker from Copenhagen, Denmark.
I hope to get some good debats on this site, and then I'm always up for a beat battle!!
Cheers
