Nice vocals. Overall an ok track, but somehow this lacks the reggae feeling. Let's focus on the things that need some fixing:

1. Too long. This is a 5:24 lenght track made out of material for one minute song.

2. Where are the dub/reaggae delays? For example the last word of a rhyme is ran through a high feedback tape delay (and the delay can be additionally ran through a phaser and/or filter). Reggae isn't reggae without that delay.

3. The drum sounds are not-so-good, especially the kick, but this is probably something that can't be fixed easily due the fact that it's a loop.

4. More guitar please. The back beat should be stronger and clear. Now it's a bit too flat.

5. The bass sounds like it's drifting like hell, rythmically breaking the song.
