Welcome!
First, I haven't taken a look at the multitracks ... so the comments below might be a bit off :-)
But ... first thing I'd take a look at on the mix are the low-mids (150-300Hz). Very hard to get hip-hop with the fat bass sound, without things getting muddy. The reality is that you'll need to hit the low end with a compressor separately. Additionally, a lot of the impression of "big base" actually comes from the transients up around 1KHz-2KHz (which can be created with saturation if they're not in the original sources).
One other point: The vocals are normally more "in your face" (typically some distortion, and boosting around 5K does that), with a multiband compressor or de-esser to follow in order to tame the highs. An L2 or similar can also work.
As others have said, your mix is on the right track.
Hope those comments are helpful! Cheers, Jeff
