he is simply an amalgam of the people around him. the people who write, produce, and flesh out the conceptual vision from scratch. the real talent.

when he was around mikkey halsted he made mikkey halsted music. when he was around rhymefest he made rhymefest music. when he was around justin vernon he made justin vernon music. when he was around travis scott he made travis scott music. when he was around francis starlite he made francis starlite music. when hes around church folks he makes church folks music.

theres no deep evolution or unwinding journey (s/o double0 lol). dude just slaps his brand name on the commodity of others who make an impression on him.
