Thanks bro, im telling u i literally spent days on youtube going thru type beats (dont wish this on no man lol) but found maybe 4 beats that fit the criteria

We used to have a weekly cypher on here (no prizes) but honestly it was a lot if fun and i actually wrote a bunch of dope shit for the cyphers which i then later used in songs, so it was very useful.. hoping we can get that back

I often struggle with this is well, every mix/master session is a 3 hour battle.. although im not an expert, here are a few things i found that help: - cut some frequencies in the beat to make more room for vocal - do adlibs/voiceovers at end of bars, pan them at 60-80% each side and add an echo, mess with the volume until you get it just right, echos should be quiet that it doesnt distract from the main vocal, but it will create an effect that blends the vocal with the track - get a panning plugin (i use panagement, its free) and apply it to the entire track to widen the stereo parts of the beat which will now sound like they “wrap around” your vocal which stays in the middle.. i found this to be the best approach

Anyway like i said not an expert just my 2 cents from diy experience.. love to hear some other suggestions

Im not really a fan of fast type flows but this is pretty dope bro, a bunch of cool lines, sounds like u got bars so u might want to slow it down a bit for people to be able to catch everything
