Woahhhhhh what a blend of genres you have in this entry.
Have that electronica with the instruments and sounds you use like at 0:31 and 1:13. And that rock-esque vibes from the vocals. Amazing lyrics that people can relate to as well. Props to you for that
Need a little fine-tuning on the dynamic between beat and vocals and a little bit on those sounds towards the end. But wow do you create some serious emotion in this one.
You can definitely jam out to this one at a festival.
Appreciate you taking the time and energy to create this.

Woahhhhhh what a cross Reggae/Dubstep entry o myyyy.
Love the sounds you integrate in this one especially that one at 0:49, 2:08
Such a cool use of samples as well. Those vocals create such a vibe and give the listeners something to chant along too. Need that in festival music.
Those strings and some other parts might need a little fine-tuning, but one heck of a job creating a beat. Definitely created an easy to listen to and jam out to beat.
Appreciate you taking the time and effort to create this entry and to work on your production skills o weeeee.
