I really like the beat. You've clearly got a good ear for music because otherwise you wouldn't be able to make such solid beats. However, your actual rapping is tough to decipher. I'll chalk it up to the mic you're recording with. I think I saw you say you use a built-in laptop microphone? If you're serious about trying to make music you're gonna need something better, if for nothing more than us hearing your voice. It could be because the beat is naturally loud, but the mic quality makes it difficult to understand what you're saying.
The flow on the first verse is something I've heard you use a lot, it kinda reminds me of some modern Em type flow. You mirror the beat and have a couple of choppy pauses, which is cool but I can't really make any of it out because of the mic haha. Second verse is a bit more clear partially because of flow and because it seems a bit louder. Once you get a new mic I'd also try and study up on mixing vocals too because your verses sound pretty raw quality wise. I can't mix for shit, you might be better off trying to get someone to do it for you if you're not satisfied with how it turned out yourself. The delivery is decent but I can tell you're still a little timid, which is just something that's gonna pass in time. Eventually your voice will become more confident and it'll reflect in the music.
Keep at it homie.
You'd be surprised...
How many truths you can hide in flows
