Very kool on all counts!

great track dude. I'm thinking the drums, esp the snare, can come up substantially (maybe w/ more compression), to really drive this home. the transition at 2:08 is tasty. Most def has a LP oeuvre about it, and I dig that band a lot so this is a good thing.  The rap delivery has a good flow and internal rhythm.  very cool. 

Sounds really cool, agree with what Mr Virus said on the drums, wanna hear those bad boys thump through... But then again I am a drummer :-) . Great production dude. 

Great song. Can you bring up the bass also along the drums? I would like to hear it thump.

 Great job Cian. I didn't know you had it in ya....now I do.

Kool, thanks men.

Note sure how to really make the drums thump a little more to be honest, still trying to get to grips with Superior drummer layout, not to mention I have yet to be able mix hard thumping drums anyway. vechung, thump bass, do you mean more bass attack/definition?

listening back on it, there is certainly an eminem twang off the rap vox in places, silly white boys!

Cian, I'm somewhat new to Superior Drummer myself, but they have 5 nice plug ins that can be inserted on any channel in their mixer section.  Between the EQ, compressor, and transient shaper you can get just about any sound you need.  If you play with those tools, I'm sure your ears will hear what you like or need.  It can be quite fun and educational at the same time.  I'm glad to see so many that share my opinion of your excellent songwriting.

Nice work on this Cian.  For me it came off as a kind of cross between rap and a rock 'anthem' kind of tune with that big chorus.  Really liked it.

As others have said, sounds more Eminem than anything else, which is not really my thing, but that's not to say you haven't done it well. I agree with the drum comments too.

pro sounding track... love the piano part... interesting lyrics/message... good work Cian...

Hey, Cian,
 
Wow, this kicking rap-rocker really blew me away!
 
Great song with lots of energy, I really love the piano sound and playing, and the vocals and harmonies were outstanding, as always.
 
Excellent songwriting, performance and production, my friend!
