    I produced this track, I'm the rapper /singer on the third verse.
    Do you guys think i should have my verse stacked how it is. I'm leaning towards removing the dub. please some feedback would be appreciated. ​

    Thank You​

    The backing vocals on the entire track are really distracting. The reverb/chorus/echo along with the over used auto-tune. Makes all backing vocals stand out way too much, should be panned differently also to created distance between them and main vocals.

    As for the 3rd verse. I'm confused, this song doesn't have any verses. lol I mean there is like a 10 second break with raping but nothing in this song is a verse. But as for the rapping in that spot it actually sounds pretty decent. Maybe a slight bit more compression, a little highs on the eq to bring the voice out to natural eq. Other than that that part your asking about sounds fine.

    I'd just work on creating more dynamic between the repeating vocals and the background vocals. Sounds like just a second vocal track instead of backing.

    I dig the stacked vocal - but the vocal echo on the main singer makes the track sound really messy and crowded at times. I feel like it would be much nicer if you gave the vocals some room to breathe and let that beat smash.
