Ok....first Rap does need more agressive comp (faster attack and maybe higher ratio) This should get it smoothed out. Then I would look at the top and the bottom of the frequencies, the top end can get rolled of a little as is fighting a bit with the hats. The bottom end may get smothed out by the comp ..if not maybe a roll of there too (just a little). Once done you should be able to mix it higher (in ya face!)
The track has enough low end thump, but not enough presence...you need to get more mid frequency out of the kik, or layer with another sample, or a copy of itself and then roll of the low freqeuncy and comp it until you can feel the punch( it also sounds a little flabby so a high Q cut may be in order). The snare I would probably also layer to thicken it ...or maybe just get it higher in the mix (get it cracking).
Other than that it's defo a fat track...good sample and the rapper's tone goes well..reminds me of The Game a little.
