I liked the beat! The intro is interesting and made ma wait with interest on how the main section would start and how the samples would be chopped. The samples are chopped and pitched dope as well, so I really enjoyed listening.
My recommendations would include transitions you already mentioned. I would think for example about Low Pass filter sweeps (recently I recorded automation on my own using mouse and the effect was quite cool). Moreover, to me the samples are a little bit pushed to the background and they deserve more place in front.
Nonetheless, really cool work, respect! I've got also some sampled tracks as well, I you would give them a listen and let me know what you think, I would appreciate it a lot, please refer to my signature for that.
Besides I am working on my own Track Recommendation script and I need some input from people who listen to different music. In case you would like to support me then please check the thread below:
