HOLY S***! This is REALLY good! Has a total feel of Eminem's song "Superman" in the way that it is presented. Love to hear the rest of this.

Very Good Indeed, some good sounding samples, placed well. Excellent vocal perfdormances, some good lyrics as well to pull you in. Bass sounded retro in a '70s way. Do you use different bass loops in other parts of the song?
Overall like the energy, good composition, good, tight,performances.
The only advice I could suggest is to try and get the whole thing a bit louder, using more limiter/compressor over the mix.

What limiter/compressor do you use across the mix?

Just downloaded the trial version of this, yes its a nice master compressor, with a limiter. Of course I dont know what settings you used, but I found I couldnt get it as loud as i like even with their limiter added to rack.

My point is I think your stuff is really very good, the mix is balanced and well compressed, but if you compare it to other stuff from the same genre, its not as loud,

You maybe could get that by altering the settings on the one you use or It might be worth trying something else.

Waves do trial versions you could try their L3 for instance and use it in conjuction with the master compressor you use already.

best wishes

paul
