 I'd really appreciate some feedback on anything and everything I've made so far (mixing, arrangement, sound design) and pointers on how I can improve it. Heard the track too many times to make any drastic changes to it right now but will visit it again tomorrow.

You're good, you.

This is a pretty good track. Don't know the original. Having said that, I would tone down the chord stabs that play when the vocal chops do, to give a sense of hierarchy between them. These sounds compete with each other right now.

I would also revise the arrangement. Perhaps add another moment -  a climax would be ideal. 3 -mostly- identical buildups and drops is a bit much. I know you added a couple extra hats here and there but to me that isn't quite enough to make the track truly explode. I can see an epic synth line or a moombahton dembow adding a lot to that final minute.

Either that or cut the track to 2:30, which isn't unheard of on radio edits.
