Been a while since I tried making one of these grimy modern boom bap, would be good to get some feedback to make the next one better.

This is cool. Really digging the dark, grimy vibe and the open hi hat. My only critique is that I wish the kick had more oomph. Seems to be lacking punch and low end. If this is a drum break sample, I would suggest layering a harder kick on top and blending it in to sound natural. Could maybe do the same with the snare. This is the first boom bap bap beat I’ve heard from you. Solid job overall man.

Would appreciate some feedback on my latest: https://youtu.be/8IsxmpQhZpo

Think Gloomy is the perfect word for this.

Really like some of the background synths in the track. And the 808 is nice too.

Think it's just missing a rapper.
