Great shii!

the loud bit with longer notes on the hook is a bit loud, the quieter bit with lots of small notes is a bit quiet. the vocal sound effects like in the lex luger drum packs coming in after sound a bit out place. otherwise its great, progresses well through the track. maybe experiment with trying to open up the hi hats a bit, like spread them further out or something.

great quality here, the reverbed melody that came in @ :15 was perfect, I love the contrasting arps that scale up as well, really gives a good sense of movement to the track, the bass really bangs, your chords/bass progression is outside of the norm, sounds really fresh and new to my ears.

im referencing on a pair of Yamaha hs80's, here's my mix critique, I would say that the kick needs to be tad more predominant in the mix, I second what was mentioned on the volume of your instruments, i think they could use a small velocity reduction, and perhaps this would allow your kick to stand out more, I would do this first before boosting the kick so ur not mashing the hell out of the track. I really think ur snare could use lil more low end frequency so it sounds more full, you have your hats panned to the left slightly, which is good to open up the mix, but personally I would use an auto panner or manually have them bounce from the left to right, it will give the hats a more centered sound without actually being centered, and give more stereo imaging to the song. LOUD is good, but I think the track could use a bit more headroom, I think the lack of available power its eating up your snare.

^ alot of that is nitpicking, and just my take on it, but really man you got a awesome sound going on here. I hope this helps

Yea I agree, something is eating up my sounds. Im going to go back and re do the mix later today or tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback guys I really appreciate it.

it could very well be a simple fix too, if you are using a limiter on your master channel, raise your ceiling to match your gain a bit more, it seems like your peaks might be getting cut too short. it's hard to say without me seeing your db meters though.
something I learned with using plugs on the master channel is to keep it very subtle! make changes slowly and compare, also a lot of mastering plugins have a "spare state" option, this allows you to compare the before and after as you make changes within the plugin. this will allow you to catch any negative compromises you might be making before things gets out of hand as mastering is a very delicate process and easy to overlook. Goodluck!

this goes hard, all the sounds that are coming in work and they keep me interested. Take this as you want it's all subjective, but I would personally clean up the transitioning snares, I think a simpler sequence would get the job done. I'm down with those bass kicks though they're heavy and give the track nice depth, you have a nice beat going here definitely a massive production.
