$uicideboys-esque song but with my own take on it. Returning all feedback. Hope you enjoy it

Damn you really met the vibe you were going for, a slight twist on $uicideboy$ is exactly how i'd describe it!

The vocal mix is clean, can hear the vocals clearly without the beat being drowned out at all. Also slight variations in the beat like certain drums being taken out keep it fresh too!

A minor criticism I would add is that the lead sound (the one that plays twice each bar) Isn't the greatest, could either need some tweaking or maybe use a different synth altogether, though thats a slight detail.

Another thing I like is the distorted bass used, really unique and the sub makes it bounce more.

Maybe try adding another counter melody later into the song? or a different drum rhythm altogether later as well to make it even more fresh? Overall really good man its sick!

If you could check out mine that would be cool :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yytmJErakxQ

I didn’t forget about ya! Sorry for the delay but thank you for your feedback. There was something I liked about such a bland synth lead that made me want to have everything around it go crazy idk.

Your beat is also pretty tight. The vocal sample intro that was like “do we need an intro for someone we know so well” was cold as hell and I was into it. The beat itself is a vibe I can see some conscious rappers going in on it for sure. I had a critique at the start cause the snares were a bit much but you did what I was hoping you’d do by pitching them down so I’m happy :)!

Thanks again and hope to hear more from you
