Knockout

First time working with hip hop. Can't be too sure about the bass because my monitoring is poor in that region, but I had fun. Cool song.

Bein as far from familiar with the genre as me could hold better men back from throwin a comment. I listened and found it smooth piano sounds almost classical and the bling synths occassionally blingin in have room to shine
I guess you would be told to make drum n bas louder if it was a commercial mix. If you did so voice would have to come up a bit or brighter or both.

Can we mix too pretty for rap ?
I guess we can. Its pretty and I like pretty but here a harder sound wouldnt hurt
I think

Haha but we're not better men, are we?

You're right of course... It's probably undercompressed and not separated enough for a commercial mix... The vocals could probably use a bit of help, too. I guess I just mixed it based on my own sonic preferences, listening to music in a quiet room with the lights down low.

But your comment that it's pretty made me smile, even though rap maybe shouldn't be pretty :p
I find your mixes lush and pretty, so it's a huge compliment in my book.

Thanks for listening and all the helpful advice/commentary along the way. It's been a hell of a journey so far.

Love the beat. Feel like a little edge to the total mix would help. The rap vocals are good but could sound a bit more gangsta. Looking for more drama from the synths. Good mix overall.
