Drums are great. They have a nice weight, sizzle, punch, and groove to them. The Jazzy sample is nice and used really well with some creative chops. I like how it doesn’t get to repetitive and has this improvisational jazz band feel to it. I would’ve Liked to hear the sample/melodic elements and bit more prominent in the mix though. Not sure if it was a decision to make space for the vocals - but I feel like there’s still enough space to bring them
Up. Speaking of vocals, both rappers are dope and have a wicked flow!

Polished Diamond:
I really like the bass tone and bass line in this. It’s a good reminder to get out of my wheelhouse and be more explorative with my sound selection. The drums feel like they’re pushing a bit which adds a really cool rhythmic quality. While they still have your signature sound, being less busy and coupled with the percussion really helps to elevate the swing and feel. This is a bit more “reserved” than your usual stuff and yet you still manage to get in a lot of great little details. Great craftsmanship on this.
True Love:
Dope! Great sample selection and use. Haven’t heard the original, but this sounds clean. I’ve been going back and forth on your mixes. Personally they’re a bit brighter than I would go for, stylistically, but there isn’t anything wrong with it. Appreciate you having that signature sound even on the mix side too. What I think was really well done is the arrangement. The best moves forward and flows seamlessly from one section to the next weaving in and dropping out elements without it being to jarring or sudden. As someone who struggles with b-sections and variations, this is inspiring and may even be a reference track moving forward.

Love this chill jazzy vibe. Perfect time capsule of that 90s soul and vibe. I fell like you and
@hosie could collab on something really dope with that sound and aesthetic.
