Are you looking for mixing/engineering advice, or if others think this track is good enough to spend money/time on to push to market?

Track is sweet, melodic vocals good---the rap itself could be a bit more defined, convincing..

I love this song, very well laid out ! The only thing I would've changed is the reverb on the Clap.

All your instruments and the voice are very wet, so to make the song more cripsy, I would've just chose a "stereo" clap, with no reverb (or a really tiny plate for the mix).

Anyway, this is detail, the whole song already there yet.

I just listened to the track into my headphones (Sony 7506). And I found out that the mix is perfect, but too wet. You should bring the voice more on the front, with more highs.

You should try to mix this song with a completely "dry" feel to it. It'll make it more "punchy", even if that's not the purpose of the song, it'll look more "fresh" than "muddy".

Again, Just my 2 cents ^^

the track is cool but to me the subject matter and rap style is sort of unoriginal. but hey, all hip hop is going that way right now. to me with so much shit going on in the world there has got to be more shit to rap about than some broad. the jay-z influence is highly noticable. but all in all i think if you put some cheese behind it it could make it do what it do. the rap game now is all marketting and promotions.
period. watch pootytang

What it is Bobby Beck. My comp speakers suck, but I definitely agree with Zacchino: the song sounds very wet. Also, the vocals sound slightly buried, especially the singing, which also sounds off pitch in the doubling/ad libs. Change the clap. I think a tighter clap would sound better. The song is almost there, but it needs a little more work homey.
