The opening to this kinda sounds like the opening to Waves by Joey Bada$$. The track sorta has the same vibe but more upbeat with it. This is mixed nicely too, drums are good, keep it up !
Pretty simple, I like the structure of the beat but I feel like you could do more to make it better. They keys are nice, but they sound weak in the mix, a stronger mix to all the instruments would make this sound a lot better. The strings were cool, I would try adding more elements on top of the strings to give the chorus section more dynamics. Aside from that this ain't bad.
Hmm, the sounds in this are kinda putting me off, everything sounds a bit flat. The ideas and the melodies are not bad, but they don't really go together in this beat. I do like the bassline tho, try to make ur instruments a bit deeper
that's the style i like! rhodes and baseline are dope! strings could be more in the back and i would add some punch to the drums, especially the snare.
i don't think the arrangement is boring, with a good rapper over it, it's doing the job! there are only little mixing issues, like i wrote.
