Hiphop'ish in style -right?
It would work great with a rap over, nice beat and dark wibe, but you have a couple of tech issues.
Your instruments could need equalizing. That would make them stand better and clearer
You also have a crash. That could need reverb, so it 'rings-out' less abruptly, unless you go for exactly that quenched sound, of cause

Besides that, since you are new here

Musikbear gave alot of good advice.

Now for my take:

MYSTIC - Has very low volume. This track sounds really unusual.
And the ending takes the track, into a completely different direction.

NWKTS/WV - Very calming sounding track.
It sounds like a tropical beach music track, that you would want to listen, to while drinking
a fruit punch, or a glass of coconut water, on a beach cafe cabana porch.
All it needs a bit more volume.

XX_MX - This one sounds nice and a bit more clearer, than most of the other tracks, in this album.
Good use of vocal audio too.

VVVVV - The volume on this is okay. And it's kinda catchy.
The muffled cussbud sounding lyrics on this one, made me laugh though.
The ending for this track was interesting too.

MCHNCS - It's too quiet. Raise the volume up, on this track.

DRFT/HP - Has an interesting halt the music type start up effect.
This one sounds cool. And the volume level on it is okay.
I'd say that DRFT/HP, is the best sounding, energetic track, in your entire 7 track album. Very hippy hoppy.

UN-02 - The sounds used in this one, make it sound very gloomyish and dismal sounding
which gives it an interesting type of effect.

Most of these tracks, suffer from volume problems.
Which can easily be solved, by turning up the volume on most of them.
A bit of mixing and mastering, will also make these tracks sound better too.

Though this type of music, is not my type of music, I must honestly say, it's a nice wip collection dude.

Thanks for reviewing my work.
I do think my volume is an issue, as it sounds alright in headphone then quiet with speakers, i'm trying to find a balance .
Are there any guides to mixing and mastering?

There's one in the Tutorials section.

Thanks. I'm trying this with my new music.
