The beat is nice, I like the patterns you created with the hi hat. I also appreciate your usage of the kick, playing rapidly and creating subdivisions with it. I like the combination of trap beats and orchestral instruments, it gives me some kind of Nujabes vibes.
I think the mix could be improved, it all sounds a bit dry. Playing a fast sequence of kicks can also be tricky with samples, because it doesn't sound real, so you could add variations to each of the kicks (in terms of volume but also filtering, as a fast kick will not create a full sound on a real drum).

Title
Residual Strength
Description
I interpreted this month's image as the grave of a trusted leader who died at a time when their people needed them.
Instead of being broken by the loss, those left behind have decided to find strength in their leader's sacrifice and continue fighting.
