Mix opinions and feedback (hip-hop)

I work mostly in hip hop. I’m making new beats to make complete songs with and work toward releasing. I’ve very proud of this composition and I’m content with my mixing skills so far (volume, automation, lite eq) but I feel as though part of my problem might be lowering the instruments to match drums and then feeling drums are too low. And just flip flopping that process. Until my ears are fatigued and I’m just lost sonically.

I’m thinking it could also be my eq and balance hearing isn’t all that. But I’m not sure.

As for low end and mids, being in hiphop beat making and using 808s HEAVY. I have trouble getting them to come through to hear when I listen on different applications, mostly iPhone speaker and headphones (testing my mix on different applications) I’ll find my 808 is not present and my snares are very. Or I’ll have too much bass and it’s muddy. Trying to achieve that clean balance and not go back and just turn the 808 up and now have just bass.

Let me know the good the bad and the ugly.

Thanks
