overall pretty clean. i didn't like the intro too much, but it picks up after the beat drops. also the riser cuts off too early

Hey,
Thanks for your feedback!
What would you do for the intro though? I know it is a bit too long, but is there anything else?
And yea, I didn't have a ride sample that cuts out clean, I guess I should've just used white noise.

i would probably make the pluck melody something less segmented and make the intro beat either just a slow beat with the snare also involved, or strengthen the kick/add the bassline to it

The intro wasn't bad at all. But I think it needs something extra, to add on some extra coolness to it.
As for the rest of the trap tune, it has quite a cool style to it though.

Nice.

Maybe you can enrich the track with ambient sounds in the background, something quite discreet.

I find the clap pretty static, maybe you can change its characteristics as the track advances via automations.
For example, insert a reverb and automate the W/D parameter so that it appears from time to time. The clap can also be doubled by another sound, so that it is a little more alive. Etc.
