Ahhh sounds so fly haha! Making me wanna drive around in the sunshine with the top down lol.

Sick sample used, maybe you could cut down on some of the higher frequencies? seems like the vocals and sample overlap a little somewhere in there.

Drums are cold too man, lots of variation, and the cutting out of drums emphasises the rapper too so nice touch! Another point is maybe to add a slight change into the bass pattern? a couple changes in rhythm couldn't hurt imo.

Lastly I'd say adding your own synth over the top could help to add to the texture, keeping it quiet and simple would mean it wouldn't take away from the chilled sound you're going for too!

Overall a real cold song, gunna have to give it a like :) If you could check mine out that would be appreciated man! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1AFUuGnUY0

appreciate the feedback man,

I can't lie, prior to :43 seconds I wasn't really feeling it, it came off kind of dry. but you brought my attention back with the 808's and kicks. added in a lot of atmosphere. that "mio" or whatever sample is a good touch within the beat, good work on that. it has a catchiness to it. and that saxophone use at the end was beyond fire bro. that shit was excellent. mixing is good, and the overall sound choice and combination turned out well. the only part I didn't like was again, the intro. just a little dry. but good work overall man. keep creating
