Not bad, but they sound like 1992.
Too much amens, too little variation. Those tracks could do with more variation, more melodies, more atmosphere, more bass action,...
It's a good start.

Firstly, a little tip: put your best track (judged by others as best) as first in your links - more people are likely to check out your other tracks if you amaze them with the first one.
The first one has a great atmo background, at times it is louder than your drums, and at times there is very little going on in the background and feels empty. If this is what you intended, good, but I don't think people will be too much amazed with this (them wanting explosive stuff and energy, ya know).
Your second track is similar, you now have the amen, but you really need to work on power and energy. Try including a reece or some dynamic bass.
Your third track is a tad better, but loosing the sounds at moments, leaving just the drums, which is not bad for some time, but gets boring after a while. I like the idea of bringing the vocal samples there, but you really shouldn't lower the volume of the drums when the vocal comes - kills the dynamics.
I comply with BattleDrone. Spend time on this forum and search various topics / ask questions on production, and you'll be on your way. This is a good start, I'd say.

I'm gonna mix it up a bit here :p I quite liked that! The 2nd and 4th tracks didn't grab me so much, but I quite like the grooves on the 1st and 3rd ones 
I'm a sucker for the Amen, and I like what you're doing with it.
With regards to the 3rd track, I like the slowness of it, I often get told my jungly stuff is too slow, but I find it makes each hit slap you in the face because its not too fast to start to roll together
Perhaps mix it up a little with different drum samples though, the amen is cool but intros and breakdowns with other loops might give it a bit of diversity

False Hope is fucking HOT! Nothing wrong with sounding like 92' at all! We need more stuff like this. Keep making music man. 
I like that you are keeping your BPM's at 140-160. It should never go over 170.
Do you have a download for "False Hope"?
My advice is to pay attention to your mix and EQ a bit more. On some songs your notes will be off and it sounds wrong. For example, the chord will be F# and you'll play F on another instrument. Anywho, keep making music. You have a lot of potential.
