Welcome to the Discussion Zone! Great vision this -- quite 'Kanye West' to me, which is a really interesting take on it. Lots of bold moves too -- superdry drums, dulling the vocal sample, radio-ing the lead vox, leaving the bass out until so late... Love to hear this kind of fearlessness. Whatever you do, don't change that attitude, because it's really important, in my view, and leads to the most interesting mixes. Lovely drop into the middle-section too! You have a natural gift for arrangement, I'd say.
Can't comment too much about the sonics, because I'm listening on my little PC speakers at the moment, but featuring the high synth line so prominently in verse two might be a little overdone -- it distracts a little from the lead vocal. Maybe pull it down a dB or two after the first entry?
Overall I like this version a lot, though. It makes me excited about the music, which is the main thing. Thanks for posting!
