Really feelin both of the joints, and both of the digs. Second ones drums were doper, but the melody kindof bored me. nothin bad though, two sick beats here no doubt. Keep up the hotshit b

edit: Oh shit, on the second beat i let the entire beat get to the end, then there was a cymbal hit and it looped to the start of the beat and it played that reverse cymbal. It sounded super ill and like it was supposed to be part of the beat. You should make some break down in there where the beat just drops with that crash, and then the reverse crash brings it back in.

Also, something little that ive noticed producers do. Everytime a crash cymbal hits, put a kick drum underneath it to. Thats what all drummers to, and it just sounds much more natural, and not as ear piercing. Also out of curiosity, whats the name of that drum break at the beginning of the first song? thanks man, and again big ups

Nice beats. On 1 I would say out of my personal preference I prefer it when the actual beat drops faster and on the melody I think you should have brought in that intial horn melody sooner. Like after 2 bars of that (guitar??) noise I was ready for that horn melody to drop again.

Second beat was tight too even though I dropped that sample I wouldn't have recognized it unless you said so. It might be cool if your brought in more of those pitched down vocals.
