Hey folks, hope this is the right place for advice and feedback on my mix. It's my first one in over a decade—I'm recommitting to the industry professionally now, with ear training, certifications, and the resources/time I lacked as a youngster.

Back then, I learned more by doing and made some decent Hip Hop instrumentals, mixes, and recordings, but never felt like I truly knew what I was doing. Now I want to go pro, so I'm seeking genuine tips from the pros here.

This is my entry for the HOFA mixing contest—NOT asking for votes, just honest critique to level it up.
