...they need some life in em yo! The rhythmic control is not there, and it sounds like you're constantly running out of breath, which is weird because it also sounds like you're not using breath support.
The dangerous thing about putting full songs up for critique rather than just beats is that more elements are exposed, such as the song arrangement and the flow. I can tell you're a lot more at home working on the beats themselves, but for example, Smoothly Flowin sounds kind of amorphous; I can't tell what either of y'all are saying but I can tell there are emcees, and the beat just kind of cranks on, and the emcees just kind of flow on, with no real structure. That's a dope beat, though, very cool-style and smoothed out, and sonically nicely balanced.
Some of these issues could be resolved by proper mixing, such as making room around the vocals, cutting out some of that reverb!, and some compression, but some of them have to be addressed by adjustments in microphone technique and taking the time to map out where the song wants to go.
But I mean, you've got material to work with, and IMO with some proper attention to the vocal side these cuts would jump up several notches immediately.
