He sounds like Kendrick. Lyrics and message are on point.

My cousin was the in house producer for the video.

i also have a personal connection and crossed paths for years with him in education... seeing him blow the fuck up with bad ass uncompromising art has been a crazy bright cultural light in dark times.
13367262, My nephew put me on to the album

and then my cousin let me know her daughter worked on the video.

I get Kendrick vibes but dude is pretty funny while also spitting some real ish.

This is SiR’s brother correct?

13367290, He's my new favorite MC. Kendrick meets Andre meets Slum Village

This is the best west coast album since Blank Face LP, and I'm calling this one the way I called that one:

It's a classic.

There's nothing to digest. No arbitrary period of time needs to pass.
There's really not a skippable track to be found.
Lyrics are dope throughout. Beats are a thing of beauty.

It's been a minute since I've loved something so thoroughly, from start to finish.
13367294, album is fire and that Black Habits video is amazing

13367555, He was one of the best (if not the best) on Netflix's Hustle & Flow

13367610, that shxt was a setup

a nice one tho.
13367623, he is.... but they robbed that white boy to get him through the battle

The chubby white kid got him.

The kid from Colorado, not the Young Mitch McConnel looking white kid with the baby jowls.

But he, London and Flawless are all the real deal IMO.
13367613, Really dope album

The year has been kinda sparse so far, and this is one of the standouts.
13368224, i cant really vibe with it

the beats are pretty great. something about his delivery just doesnt work for me. im really not feeling the spanish, too much flashback to corey in the debates. definitely appreciate the positivity.

its worth a listen. i have it as a 4/5 after a few listens. i think with more time it will drop to a 3.75 or 3.5 for me.

i would check out new projects by him though.
