Love the vocals, and the FX you used makes a really nice stereo feel. Also, is that you singing? sweet voice 10/10
The lead synth in the chorus feels like it should be more hard hitting. That might be different to the vibe you were after though, so I dunno if that piece of advice helps.
As for the mix, theres a few things I'd say. Firstly, it feels the bass area needs more attention. There's limited to nothing (apart from the gentle sub) that I can hear. Maybe add another layer playing the bass notes?
Secondly, theres like a supersaw pad/piano playing in the background. It feels really out of place and kinda messes up the mix. I'd either heavily sidechain it, remove the lows and bring in the highs, or just remove it completely. Theres also a lot of odd frequencies jumping about. Youtube EQ sweeping, as that could help you a lot.
Lastly, I'd focus a bit on EQ shelfing a load of the synth for areas that you dont need. for example, every synth should have nothing below 50Hz (unless its the sub), so literally go around and just remove those frequencies from everything. Then, EQ everything into its own place in the mix. If you google Frequency Spectrum Chart, you'll find charts showing what types of synths should use certain frequencies.
Hope that helps

Haha! I love this. It's like something Carnage would say
Also, hate to say it, but I aint a big fan of the silence just before the drums come in
the build up was sick and then I felt like it killed the vibe a little...P.S. 10/10 snare build. would build again.

This. Is. SICK. I love the drums. As Petitjos said, where abouts did you sample them from? I need them in my life.
The reverby/surreal piano thing in the intro feels a little bit grainy. I'd tone it down a little and push it a bit further back in the mix. The sub bass during the rap feels a little overpowering as well. Overall, with this style, it feels you should just not push everything through so heavy. It has an awesome laid back and chilled feel and I think you should emanate that in your mix

ah man, the chorus is really cool, but I kinda felt like it didn't hit that climax as well as it could have. It sorta built up and then happened with no real *POW* that I so want from hard tempo stuff. Maybe build it up a little more (with LFP and stuff) so that the drop is more unique compared to the build up, or maybe a 1-2 bar gap to make it more forceful? I dunno, just some ideas.

I love 0:54! The idea and the sound design are amazing, so maybe make it less glitchy to really make the most of its euphoric nature? I also love when the breakbeat sample comes in, it continues the vibe brilliantly and I think you should definitely incorporate it more in your drop to keep the up tempo vibe coming in every now and then, rather than the constant static half time vibe.
In terms of the mix, it sounds a little muddy to me. In particular the synth at 1:25 really highlights it for me. I'm not good at quoting frequencies, so I can't really help with more in depth EQ advice

ah man, i love supersaws all cut up and glitchy like this
the 4th chord sounds a bit off? maybe one of the notes needs a semitone adjustment somewhere...
also, I feel like the verse/pre-chorus has a lot more potential. the chorus is absolutely awesome, and the beat post chorus is dead funky. The weak link seems, for me, to be the first 30 seconds. The percussion is a bit static, and you don't make use of some of those exotic extension you got going on in the rest of the track. Maybe try and keep the funk going throughout, rather than leaving the intro more slow and melancholy?

what about the track are you looking for feedback on? the mix or the musical elements?

Nice dude! I really like the different elements, and they really compliment eachother. I'd get going with this style as I haven't heard too much like it and it could be something new. The main thing I'd look at if your trying to replicate a Tennyson vibe is maybe softening up some of the synths and the mix in general. Tennyson seem to have a more chilled out, peaceful vibe, whereas yours is a lot more in your face and a bit more aggressive. Maybe that's what you were trying? Im not sure. So yeah, in general add a bit more wetness and tone down a lot of the sounds to create more of a vibe from your mix
