new to this thread but i just heard the sample so i thought i'd chime in.. Sounds pretty good to me, I don't think I'd compress anymore, maybe automate levels a bit if needed to bring out some words. I think it could use a bit more presence (3-5K), and maybe less low mids. To me, the rapper's voice seems to have a lot of low mid, and its part of his character, but could be cleared up a bit. Maybe sweep through the frequencies and see where you can take out without loosing too much of the vocal quality, and add some hi mids for definition. also, you could look at some of the synths, (even the hats), and see if notching out certain freq's help bring the vox in focus more. Sometimes a multiband comp (like waves c4) works to tame the lows, and bring up the presence in a controlled manner. best of luck
