Lofi?

This is my very first attempt at lofi hiphop and my first track on Logic. Switching DAW's as musician who's used to working in an acoustic space is horrible (I have been using reaper, but it's no longer cutting it for me)
There are a lot of things I like about the track, and a lot of things I'll work on for the next attempt. Overall I think the track is simply "too clear". There's a vintage fuzziness I really like about lofi hip hop, and I just couldn't work out how to make that happen with the plugins/time I had available.
I'm really happy with the piano sound, and chord progression. I'm also happy with the drum beats feel (almost wonky), but not the tone of the drums. I recorded the flute and vocals through my laptop mic. I think I could still aim for a "less good" recording feel from both of these elements (saying that, using the inbuilt mic got me some of the ay there)
My review of the chill beats to study to: 5.5/10 - good proof of concept, shows potential, needs a lot of work (see me after class)
