Probably not the best morning song
Sorry, but I only see the quality in your music decreasing.
I mean, you're good, but I just feel your songs sound very amateur.

Oh wow i'm an idiot
I actually like it, its like you're rapping with a synth.
now it kinda reminds me of this:

You need a melody developed before the drop so that it has more impact.

you're on the right track. The problem here is that there is no contrast. There can't be light without dark just as there can't be hard without soft.
If the whole song is one big drop, with no softer intro or breakdown, you won't get the "drop", it will all just be a constant assault. I personally don't think that is very pleasant, and it wouldn't work in a club setting either.
Something like removing the bass at certain points or something could be a good way to create contrast.
Work on your beat, the beat is way to boring for a hard tune like this.
take time to work on it, never be lazy, make different beats. it will help a lot.
Also work on the quality of your drums, how your snare and kick sound.
Look for some Compressing and EQing tutorials on youtube. they can help you get started on that.
All of what I just said makes 50% of your tune. the other 50 is synths, wobbles,... which but not perfect yet but get the beat first (it's the most important)

thanks man I've been trying to work on my eqing more and the beats so its not just a kick a snare and a closed hi hat..I just seem to struggle writing complicated beats that also sound good in the mix

If your compression and EQ is good the beat should be good, accept if you fuck the mixing really badly,

All you really need is to mix up the kicks and add fills. Fills aren't hard and they really spice up a track. Also like the others said you need bigger drums, yours feel a little weak.

Yeah I agree. For me..fills can either make or break a track..especially dubstep.
Listen to the beat only, it's not that much but its makes the tune.
It would sound empty without the percussion.
Also the quality of the drums is better (not great, old tune), don't worry if you don't get it right the next time you make a tune, It takes time to get your beat good.

the kick is sidechained bro
and neither of those songs sound properly mixed
Sounds way to empty, try putting some saw stabs in there with a ton of reverb and/or delay. Just an idea but it might help fill it up.

Like I said they're old so the production value is not that good,
but the snare has better quality and they have a better flow than your tune.
Didn't hear the sidechain sorry, my bad

while your points are quite correct, never ever use your own music as an example for 'good beats', ever.

Maybe a good point, but I was showing that producers like him and me that are not really good yet can have ok beats.
