it's got a strange boxy sound.. which is kinda cool as it's reminiscent of a boom box sound. But you may want to think about "adding" some super lows onto the current sound to give it some definition. (as I think the current feel is definitely worth keeping)

Also, I'd cut the low mids on the vocals a bit as they seem to be suffering from the proximity effect.

I'm not usually that much of a hip-hop fan, but hey i'll listen to anything and having been impressed with your other efforts I thought i'd give it a go

Well the first thing i noticed was how quickly the atmosphere for the tune is set in place with wonderful use of the orchestra. When the beats first come in they're clear and punchy and that hook is simple but oh so sweet(have i heared that somewhere before? no matter, it still rocks

).

The lyrics are clever and catchy and the added fill-ins just add to the class. Just enough work on the lyrics to make them fit nicely in the mix but not (as some seem to) over-the-top with the reverb.

Like I said i'm not usually a fan of this genre but overall I give it two thumbs up.

Not a style I know from within, but it sounds ok to me, well done LE

One thing: why is the bassdrum so underdevellopped? it disappeares easily in the mix.
The song (specially the mix of the voices) isn't uncomplicated, so you could need the bassdrum to keep things together a bit more easily

It could be taste tho

Yeah, the kick could come up maybe?
Still sounds excellent anyway.

That guitar riff is great. That yours? Instant hook. Lovely.
