This is waaay too relatable for me. Was about to be allowed in a chemical engineering major but they put off the decision to see how I would do in my math courses at the time. Got B's in calc 3 & 4 so they denied me and I went to chemistry (on that note I really wish art and science crossed paths more often). This was in the midst of people telling me 'oh you're smart you got this' and it all it does is add to your over-confidence in yourself.

Your illustration skills are AWESOME and combined with your narrative skills that you seem to let your personality come out in really make for an excellent storytelling experience. I believe it's that latter that really makes you stand out to me here. Can't wait to see more from you!

I love the dark parts of NG.

I just really like asshole rainbows.

Nothing wrong here, sounds like some good Christian 80's R&B to me.

Your format is solid here and you've clearly picked up on the ideas that always worked for a lot of DnB music.

I'm guessing the atonal piano in the intro was intentional, I'm actually going to go ahead and say maybe that's a good idea because it will give people something easy comment about immediately (so sneaky of you...). Plus that makes sense with your 'growth' theme.

In case it's helpful though, the next "lowest effort, highest reward" thing to learn next would probably be learning how to use a compressor or a limiter, heck even if you just throw it on the master, I won't tell anyone.

1:42 - This part just really sucked me into the song, that was cool.

would love to hear you lean further into the weirdness, props!
