More swing is needed to achieve that "Preemo bounce". @Tiny Chops .

Don't think it's the swing, just think it's more of the timing choices.

Cause i hear what you mean. It's a really cool beat, but something isn't quite hitting "the feel" - sounds like he has swing, but it's that something.

Bear in mind, I was listening through my phone speaker, but still.
