beat #1:
this beat is a bit slow. well, really slow, and the sample never seems to go anywhere, so it gets to be a drone in your ear, kinda annoying. see if you can do something else with it. bass is solid tho, and drums are ok, nothing wrong there. that sample just gets really annoying.
beat #2:
almost sounds like a daft punk-style chop, although it needs to be sped up. this one is a bit better than the previous, cause it has changeups, and the arrangement of drums and sample is a bit nicer with the little pauses, which i like. but the sample you used still sounds so melancholy and lifeless. where do you get those sounds? creepy.
beat #3:
i already like this one the best. the way the sound pumps, as if it was overcompressed, but it's really not, is nice. the bass is good, as are the drums, especially the kick drum. also like that static effect. the string sample sounds much nicer than the variety of samples you used in your other songs. this is still a bit too slow paced, something that's really holding you back with all three of these beats. not that slow is not nice, its just that it doesn't always fit the beats.
overall, you have a dark, lo fi sound, and your beats are a little slow and grinding. you just need to tighten them up a bit and try to use a wider frequency range and more types of sounds, to give your beats some brightness and flexibility. but really, by most standards, 10 months of producing is still the beginner stage, so you've got a lot to learn and a lot of time to learn it in without feeling like you're behind. progress will be made, just keep listening to feedback like this and of course listen to yourself too.
