It works for me; pleasantly mellow. I always preferred hip-hop and trip-hop to rap.
Incidentally, I feel like you could move the sort of 'hook' or background pad or whatever you call it (i'm not sure of the right word) into the stereo domain a little more, out of the way of the vocals. Right now everything seems very close to the center of the mix. The mix itself sounds decently balanced, though.

Thanks so much that's really helpful feedback. I'm going to re-work the mix for the official release!sleepcircle wrote:It works for me; pleasantly mellow. I always preferred hip-hop and trip-hop to rap.

My Feedback
Music - 7
Instruments - 8
Performance - 9
Mix - 10
Overall - 8.5
Comments: Keeping my personal feelings of hip hop aside, this sounds like it's well done for the genre. As I don't have much to go by (it's not music I listen to a lot) I can only go by the production quality itself, which sounds excellent as far as the mix. The rest, I'll leave others to comment on who are more in tune with the genre.

vocally, the flow is cool, never sounds rushed or falling behind, the meter is cool. theyre present and upfront without being too upfront 
musically, nice work, everything supporting the vocals, keeping things going forward and everything seems to sit well in the mix and stereo field.
overall nice work

Cool voice.
The 'verse' lyrics are important, so I would think that less reverb on these vocals could help to bring clarity to the message of the tune. The reverb you are using on the 'look at me' (chorus) section works for me.
So, if you had less fx on the verse vocal, there would be greater sonic distance between it and the background keyboard. This would create a good front to back sonic environment etc.
Music + 10
Instruments + 10
Performance + 10
Mix + 8
Overall + 38

I would use a lot less delay on the main vocal. It distracts from the lyrics imho. Otherwise, good job

) but I like this anyway - very recognizably 'UK' sounding (and all the better for it!). I'd agree with others about the main vocal being more 'upfront', but apart from that, job's a good un as we say in Yarkshur.-
