Chord progressions aren't super hard. You just need to think about them in the right way. The word progression implies a sense of movement, evolution.

Just like in a melody, staying at a single pitch tends to get boring. Unless you have catchy rhythm going. But that's besides the point. A melody needs to move. If it moves by small steps, it tends to be boring. If it jumps up say a 5th, or more. It's catchy, and pleasant if it walks down again.

Chord progression work in the similar way. Generally speaking you want to add tension and release. Tension and dissonances are your friend.

There are only 6 chords, really. Major, minor, suspended 2nd, suspended 4th, augmented and diminished chords. You can add notes to the chord. Then you get those Add chords. But those six are the basic chords.

Sus2, sus4, aug and dim are like wormholes. They can take you from any Major or Minor chord in any key, to any other chord in any other key. So learn about them, and start using them.

Hope this helps!

For some reason this sort of information just doesn't want to get into my head. I love the semitone intervals th m8 uses, I love the ratios, that is just so damn obvious and cool that doubling the frequency sounds damn right, Mr Octave. but calling something perfect fifth when it's 7 semitones apart just I dunno... hundreds of years of bullshit theories

Really love it when the hi hats come in.

Dope beat, dope progression, I like that it came together fast enough for you to run out of time. You're a natural
