just ...raw. jesus

i get strong beanie sigel and jadakiss vibes from him: no nonsense ultra-violent lyrics, variations on the same double rhyme for long stretches ("bape on you / wait on you / cake on you"), and a ton of compound rhymes. he's pretty good

i hope the griselda crew can find that sweet spot of referencing older hip hop styles and sounds without sounding old. songs like "BIRDY" and "mr. t" not having traditional drums is a good start, as are the slower songs like "ajax" that evoke modern atlanta sounds
