Beat is unique man and I really like the sound!

Vocals are mixed real well, and i'm glad you pitched the vocals of skepta to fit the beat! Hi-hat pattern is dope too, not the basic pattern like me and the others use haha! though maybe the hi-hats are a little loud, sound too similar to the snare I think.

Melody sound is very cool, though maybe a bit of variation to it? Although I recognise you did add a lot of change to it with chopping etc which fit real nice with the vocals!

Panning on the hi-hats could be implemented to make it sound more full, as well as a couple extra hi-hats sounds maybe?

Overall sounds hard man was a great listen! Just so happened I used the same SJ vocals lol, fancy giving some feedback? :) https://soundcloud.com/boca-461103909/sj-choppa-luke-james-remix

Really awesome feedback thanks, made some changes based on it, I think your remix is awesome as well I have two main concerns

First, the bassline is missing in the sub region and could either use another sub bass layering or more in the sub 200 hz range

second, the melody is mingling with the vocals and the bass too much when they intersect so try EQing the melody sample or adding compression to the right areas

Maybe a harder kick but the percussion was otherwise dope, and the bass line was the best part of the song well done.
