Love him or hate him (im in the later category for the most part) you've got a 19 year old rapper who blew up on a demo song and we are expecting an A tier project out of him, lol.

One of the reasons I think that the ATL scene does so well is that there's a farm team built up around a few acts (primarily Gucci and his producers) that lets the acts hone their work over years.

This record isn't the worst ive heard...his future impression is decent. Theres also times where he's working on a more traditional NYC street voice (Make It Out) to break out from that shadow and the trap production is solid.

But it's a bit depressing how we've adapted to the pop hit cycle as hip-hop heads.
