Interesting. I am pretty sure I've never heard anyone rap in that language...are you from Eastern Europe? Anyway, the language barrier makes it difficult to judge in a way.

I think your delivery sounds pretty good, but the mix could use some work in my opinion. I think you've overdone it a bit with the delay. The doubled vocals with all of the delay makes it a bit jumbled sounding. I also think the vocals are too loud compared to the backing track.

Did you use a pop filter? It seems like there are a lot of plosives and maybe some proximity effect going on. I think you'd be better served with crisper and less boomy vocals.

Also, it would seem as though you could use some breaks or a hook or something to change things up a bit. Just some ideas man. I am by no means an expert on this stuff...:)
 
I'm from Lithuania :) thanks for your ideas. i had turned the vocal level down but the singer wanted it louder so i had no choise ;)
 
I liked the track, especially the dark chill kind of feel it has.
The one thing that I actually don't like is the Reverb used in the vocals, it sounds like he is singing in a bathroom. Perhaps this reverb is taking the vocals brightness. Try brightening the vocals so you can bring everything up. Especially the kick. :P When brightening the vocals, watch out with the Esses, they may want to stand out, and the singer clearly pronounces a lot of ssss.
And watch out with that delay, instead of putting it on the left, try playing with, creating some interesting rhythmic patterns. Cut and paste phrases, use some effects to make it more interesting, etc..
And also try spreading the intruments more, for a more stereo image :P

Sorry for my english!
I hope this worked for you, this are just ideas!
