Welcome to the forum! I hope you like it hear, we're pretty friendly

I like the volume work with the piano at the beginning, though I think there may be just a tad too much filter work on it. Nonetheless, it sounds solid.
The bass is nice, but I would love to hear more of it. Great snare sample though, absolute perfection on that. That high hat sounds a tad subdued as well like the piano, did you throw a low pass filter on that by chance? I would like to hear some more high end on it for sure.
I like the vibe the string samples bring, but some more reverb on them would fill the mix a little better. Contrary to the piano and high hats, I also think some filter work on the strings would do them justice.
I really really like the section starting at 1:02 with the eighth note hats - it sets a good vibe, and the piano melodies are really solid here. Very nice work.
Solid track man. Just as you said, your forte is definitely with hip hop instrumentals. I would work on the timbre of your samples to make them sound more natural, but other than that very nice work!
