- Turn down the vocals in my opinion
- I would layer your kicks -- you can barely hear it right now nad it doesnt hit hard enough -- so turn it up too!
- Same with the snare and the clap
- Melody is OK
- I think the acapella takes away from the beat
- Maybe add a bassline
- Maybe a snare roll and transition effects
- Good skeleton for a beat with potential (like a UGK southern type beat) but needs alot of work!

Thanks,B! I appreciate the honest feedback. I am new to making music and this will help me through my journey!

I think your drums get lost behind the acapella and your organ melody. I would focus on mixing the drums more, maybe even layering them so that you can have a thicker sound.I think the acapella kind of dominates the beat. Dont get discouraged just because you're young. Keep working and in time you'll naturally get better. Stay focused fam. Heres my beat for feed:

The vocal is too loud, turn up the drums, I cant tell what you were going for because the vocal is overwhelming the rest of the track, the organ is a little too loud too and repetitive, what are you mixing on? https://soundcloud.com/will-vetter-goodin/drifting-away

Thank you guys for the feedback. Every time I try to mix the drums always low. LoL. But I can definitely turn everything down . What Db do you usually have the vocals at when mixing? IAM, I'm use Fruity Loops.

A you guys, what is a good way to do a chord progression?

A you guys, what is a good way to do a chord progression?

This is a good example of a chord progression with basic chords on a keyboard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcqKdJitv_8 The beat needs a lotta love but everybody above explained to you what needs to be done. I dig where you're comin from with the lyrics it sounds good just needs to be mixed better with everything. Also the double track you have in there that's speaking not rapping needs to be panned away from center and turned down. Maybe try using an autopan on that track.
