need some feedback, preferably from someone who makes beats

Your kick and snare sample choices and the keyboard sound choices fit right. A tiny tad more quantisation, you may consider adding layers like hihat or bass if you wish.
An alto voice above this singing softly, and you'll have your first class quality song :) In the chorus an arpeggiating juno with a slow attack :)
Keep it up!

Love the hats - excellent choice in tone/quality. They sit in the pocket a tad behind the beat, adding to the laid back feel you're after. Beautiful. I like the panning tremolo of the synth giving things that midline crossing movement. The only thing that's not striking me is the rain. I like it, but something about it sounds more like static than rain in the mix. I'm not sure how it would be fixed, maybe panning it out wide instead of in the center?

This is really nice. Very chill, reminds me of a N64 game soundtrack. I'd suggest a nice low/mid frequency pad to tie the whole thing together or even a bass track, then draping the whole thing a in a vinyl sample.
Keep up the good work!
