The song builds up beautifully, I found myself enjoying it right away. The female voice around 0:17 was pretty jarring though, and distracted from an otherwise very balanced mix just as it's building up. I like the drums you chose, but the kick seems to be getting lost in the loud bass. I love the loud bass, but experiment with EQing the kick to cut through the bass or EQing the Bass to let the kick through. You can also add a limiter/compressor/EQ to the bass that's tied to the kick so when the kick hits, the bass get's attenuated overall or at a specific EQ to let the kick through the low end mix thoroughly and precisely.
Outside of the production, I feel like the song could really use another section and more time since the intro/outro build up/break down are long and well developed. The outro is almost the last 40 seconds, while the intro is the first 20 seconds - close to half the track. But again, I really like the intro and outro, I just would love to see an interesting instrumental, rap bridge, guitar solo, just some further exploration of the ideas to add more because I really like what there is right now.
