@SJAMBOK BEATS - Big bad ass drums. The "I got the power" is interesting lol. It kinda came out of nowhere, at least thematically, but on a second listen it's cool. The sci-fi sounding synths are a cool choice over big boom-bap drums. The background texture and atmosphere is cool for a bit, but I feel like the whole track gets too drenched with reverbs and space. Drums in stereo can be cool, but with all the delays and echoes going on, the light ephemeral elements all stack up to make the whole track sound too dense. Interesting but it's a lot.

@2GooD Productions - Was not expecting a synth intro from you, but I like it. Ooooh, that string swell witht he drum fill is nice! Really digging the switch at 0:58. I kinda want to hear that descending string line a bit more forward in the mix though. Epic and emotive. One thing I didn't catch at first is that bouncy toy piano/clav sound. Such a subtle element that gently informs the sense of rhythm and groove of the beat without distracting.

@SJAMBOK BEATS I love the dystopian vibe on this one. I don't feel the use of the I got the power vocal as it is. Run it through a VocalSynth and make it match the vibe. But that's just me.

@2GooD Productions to me personally the piano chords kill the darker vibe of the track. The synth and strings sound awesome together. Mix and production is top notch as usual, but it's not for me.
