hey guys listned to a few tracks and good stuff, incase you want some friendly tips they might help you a bit, I was in your position 6 years ago and learnt that
reason is a bit sh*** for hip-hop drums, both the samples and rhytem aint the best, I'd recomend getting ablton 5, easier to use then cubase but just as powerful
next when you record verses make sure you record them in a totally dead envirornment, good to line a booth/wardrope with blankets or whatever to prevent ambience
also always do multiple recordings of a verse, 3 should do, and at the words that need to be emphisized should be doubled up with the vocals from another take
lastly, a bit of mastering would really improve your tracks... they are quite obviously done in reason, you have to make sure you properly eq and compress your tracks, theres an awsome vst plugin mastering plugin called OZONE that'll make it very easy and sounds great
If you ever need help drop me a line
