Good one @Tomblr. I like very much the light atmosphere and the airy, relaxing, pleasant mix. Love how it sounds. Great skill in organizing the chops, and the choice of the sample is spot on. In three minutes of the track, I would have added a sound here and there, maybe some bass notes or an 808, or even just an effect. I said this just to be more deeply specific, but it's excellent work in my opinion. @TWU has also chosen a very fresh atmosphere. The work here is denser, and the impact is significant. The transition is truly brilliant. Again, for my taste, since the transitions are made with the chops and everything remains very coherent (even the drums don't change), I would have preferred something more at a certain point or some element of novelty of some kind, because the second minute isn't that different from the first. Beyond these notes on the arrangement, the loops of the beat itself are magnificent. @TWU is a top-tier ace.

@Tomblr - I really like the drums on this one. They are simple, but have nice groove. Smart moving dropping out the snare and just having the clap for a bit too. Another cool sample selection. I think you may have gone a bit over-board with the micro/stuttery chops - but that's just my taste. The switch into the vocals is DOPE.

@TWU - Love the energy of this. I find sometimes the soulful sampled joints are a bit too laid back for battles, but how you managed that chill sound and the energy is really dope. Love this!

Thanks for the feedback on this (and the other ones as well)! This was on my list for the battle that, but for the reason you mentioned I left it out... Soul samples wouldn't be my first pick in beat battles either.

Heck, I might as well share the samples...

Main sample:



Used a microchop from this, at around the 0:16 mark:

So hard to pick a favourite here...

Also, Belgium and the Netherlands are separate countries on paper. But are they really though?
