All music is built around chords. Sometimes, as few as one! James Brown, among other funk pioneers, often only built there songs around ONE chord!!! But still had that foundation of a tangible chord basis. Build your riffs, basslines, backings, etc around these fundamental chords!

I started tryin to make beats when I was 15, now I'm 18 and the quality of my beats grew wit me (just check my page out if u don't believe me). It takes time manye. This beat sounds alright but try gettin' ur volume or EQ straight.

You also need to start incorporating some effects. The piano for example sounds extremely thin. You could EQ to fatten it up, maybe add compression to make it more punchy, but an overcompressed piano sounds bad. Definately add reverb. Chrono said it was stale, what you can do to fix that is add reverb/delay, that adds depth to music.
Simple drums can be good, but in this case it's just boring b/c the whole song is.
, thanks for the listen..
