Does anyone here work on Hip hop/ Rap music? I'm starting to feel a little alone here...

Greetings from Lithuania, good people! Wanted to ask for some guidance. I kinda get it about the whole thong with spotify normalization, but cant really grasp what is the real issues with my released self produced/mixed/mastered songs. It would really be great if some of you would take a look and tell me what i could adress with my upcoming songs. Is true peak, short lufs or something else:) Wanna become better at this. Thanks in advance! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yS7XgjdQ6LmALya5DUzIiJYYl1ALHp-H

I know using reference tracks is really important but I can’t for the life of me get any. I’ve bought a couple from iTunes but it won’t let me download them. When I started this course I discovered that Rob had put some tracks up of different genres but I haven’t a clue where to find them again. Can someone point me in the right direction or tell me where I can get downloadable tracks from without subscribing. TIA Geoff

I did an original cover of "All Things Must Pass" by George Harrison, but I need to replace the vocalist I had. Male or Female voice needed for collaboration. Needs Main VOX and Backing harmonies. I'm linking to the -9LU master and you can let me know if you or somebody you know would like to collaborate in vocals. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/6op4j5h5k2neg2c4g38y4/All-Things-Must-Pass-COLLAB-122.75bpm-AcidTest-MASTER-9LU-261108v1.wav?rlkey=p6zmwu8iedb8pxr2v5sgtpyyv&st=30lf4igc&dl=0

I can't get both -5 on the TP meter and 0 on the VU for my Kick. It sits perfectly at 0 on the VU without any processing, but no louder than -12 on the TP meter. I used the smack attack plugin to get my TP meter closer to -5 it worked! But It pushes my VU meter way past 0. When I gain stage the Smack Attack plugin back down to 0 on my VU it brings my TP meter back down to -12. 🤦🏾‍♂️ This foundation method (so far) has not worked for me. I need some help.
