This is pretty dope, bro. I only have a a few things to critique.. Before that, his voice is pretty dope. It's smooth with nice emotion.
Okay, my criticism.. The hook. It needs more layers. It seems really bland and it drags the entire song down with it. It seems like he's also attempting to sing on the hook but isn't committing to it. Like a half chant, half sing, half "i dont know what the fuck I'm doing" lol. My advice there would be to just commit to it.
Your dude is talented, no doubt. I like the content and subject matter. His rhymes aren't overly complex but not overly basic, either. He's got a nice middle ground in there.
That being said, my second critique would be his flow. I mean, he flows alot better than most people I've heard, but it's still pretty choppy in some points. There's a few nice points where it's smooth as hell and he transitions nicely. Then there's points where he could have used an extra syllable or two so he wouldn't have to exaggerate a word to hit the snare. Know what I mean? If his flow was tidied up a little and he committed to the hook, this song would be dope as shit.
As it is, I'd give it a 7.5/10.
For $5...
