    Good job and a meaningful message.  My son just came in and said "Who's that?".  We both liked that the song had really something to say.  It sounds good too.

    I really enjoyed this bro.
     
    Produced very well to the genre and the rap is delivered well and most importantly you can tell the singer means what he is saying.
     
    If I was to do the track again, Id squeeze a female vocalist in the background to give an evanescence feel to it!
     
    Good stuff,

    +1   The rap is solid on this one.
     
    The chorus could use a little tuning for my ears, and possibly higher harmonies as Cian mentioned, but other than that I think it's nicely complete.

    I like this as well........nice catchy melody/music gives life to the message in the song. Like what Steve and Cian mentioned about the chorus will enhance it even more......try to add some harmonies (thirds) to the chorus and this should really make it shine.

    Thanks for all the replies guys!
     
    I was actually gonna remix the break and as I'm reading so many comments about harmonies on the chorus I will try to add some of those as well today. I have no female singer so let's see what I can come up with myself :)

    If you have Melodyne, it'll be a piece of cake to do harmonies.......
