    I like the beat, its smooth and the guitar is a nice touch.

    I don't know much about mixing, but the volume of the track takes away from the vocals. Like turn the Vocals up or the instruments down.
    I would honestly enjoy it a bit more if I could hear the vocals. Cause it has a great mellow sound.

    Respect!!!

    Trapsoul is nice af, but no way he's f---ing with T-Lanez right now. That MFer drops gems every time. Was expecting a bit more on production side from Trapsoul cause some of the songs ain't as good as "Don't" and "Exchange" :idk: He's still my 2nd favorite artist out right now

    Only time I make a Drake type beat... I had to add J. Cole's "flex" part from The Cure as the background sample hahah

    I like the idea bro, and I like the melody. Couple of suggestions from my perspective - you should layer those sounds you used for the melody with some pads/strings and play with panning to make it sound wider, liver and more energetic. Also that kick got to much reverb in it, don't know if it's on purpose, but it takes away from the beat cause it feels like the kick is out of place IMO, type of kick you use when you have couple of things going on in the beat. You should also add an 808 to the beat that hits harder, cause without it it all sounds bland and empty, it's the basically "life" of those type of beats. A little melodic breakdown on the hook wouldn't hurt too cause it becomes to repetitive to ear after some time.

    Don't want it to seem like I'm some kind of expert cause I ain't s---, but thought I give you an honest opinion as a producer to another producer cause only a honest feedback can get you somewhere. I assume that this is one of the first Drake type of beats you made, so you'll figure everything out soon if you keep at it. Beat is solid fam, keep grinding.

    Thanks for the feedback man, I truly appreciate it. I've never made a Drake type beat before with trap drums and 808s and all. I've always been the one to flip soul samples with keys added on top. But I'm trying to get more into this. I also still got a lot of learning to do on the technical end because I honestly don't know s--- about sound engineering... I do everything by ear lol.
