Some good stuff here.
Battle of the mind:
The bass in this is straight fire. I really like the soundscape as well. Everything has its spot and nothing is out of place. Has a reflective, somber tone to it. The only thing I have against it is the vocal cut. I don't hate it, but i don't love it either. I mean it works, but its a little gritty for the smooth tone you have here. Definitely something I'd listen to though.
Dont Leave Me Baby:
Also good. I wouldn't put it above the last one at least for my preference, but that's not to say it's bad. Drums are a little weird in places imo. Almost a little too loose with the rhythm of everything else. I don't think it would be a detriment with vocals over it though. I find the kick particularly can be a bit distracting though as it is now without a vocal track.
Punks Jump Up:
Came out of left field with this one eh? Nothing like the other two. You definitely have a knack for picking your sounds. I really like the guitar that comes in on the loop rollover. What I like particularly about this one is that theres quite a few pieces in it that i can pick out and on repeat listens I find new elements that I didn't focus on before.
Over all I'd say all of em are dope. I'd say battle of the mind is personally my favorite of the three though. Tonally it's got a satisfying quality to it that I can't figure out how to express properly.
Not just a beat in this one, I've posted the beat for this before, but last year I recorded over it so I figured I'd post it after doin some tweaking yesterday and the day before.
Like I said in the chat, it probably belongs in the insane asylum. Whatever though. I recorded it with the full knowledge that not everyone would agree, and I wouldn't be making friends with it haha. That's why I'm putting it out with the intention to also have the beat be free to use in a diss track against me. I want to hear what people come up with. Gimme your best. Any rappers out there can hit me up in the DMs if you wanna take me up on the offer, and we can figure out getting you the beat for your track. I'm honestly looking forward to it, i think its a funny idea that has the opportunity come up with some dope shit in the end.

@iDeaLoGiK Really love the energy of this beat, the hook really works well. Can really tell you put the time into this, it has a real polished feel to it. You rode it really well too, love the subject matter. Wouldnt mind getting some stems for this and flipping it up a bit and remixing it myself. I want this track in my playlist.
@Un4zn I like this, could have used this in the 80's beat this. Reminds me of something that would have been in a film in the 80's, like Terminator, or Escape From New York. It just keeps building up, I really like that. Has a great cinematic feel to it.

Super smooth and melodic. I have no Idea if it would work with a rapper on top but it is dope as it is.

You have a nice sounding voice, good mixing skills and I really like the hook.
Content wise: I think that is a manifesto of white fragility and a slight disrespect to hip hop culture. But those are only my 2 cents.

@2GooD Productions I really like Battle Of The Mind. It's got a western, laid back vibe. Bassline is nice and sits well with the drums and snare. Overall a good mix. Really like the drum kit you chose on Dont Leave Me Baby. My suggestion on this one is work on the timing for the snare delay. Sample is dope. Punks Jump Up bouncy trap beat. Overall nice choice of samples and mixing is on point.
@iDeaLoGiK Heres my remix of your track...

Good job. I like your 1st and 3rd tracks. I don't like 2nd, but it's just a matter of my taste. I like your sound, but I would like to recommend you to improve it a bit. You can make low frequency more quiet in 1st and 3rd track, and in 2nd to make snare more quiet too. But the ideas are definitely good.
Great, man. Work on mixing and you will have a good result.
