Judging from the amount of videos he has alone, I feel like this guy has been around for a little but , as far as I know, he just popped out of nowhere. He’s a Chicago rapper and I definitely hear those influences in his flow and word play.
He’s far more on the soulful side of things than a guy like Chief Keef but he still manages to sneak in some current types of rap styles, somehow reworking them to his favor. I think the first thing that jumped out to me about him was his voice. It just commands a track. Here are a few of his videos. Pretty versatile stuff.
He has an old mixtape you can download…to be honest, I haven’t peeped it yet due to time constraints but here that is in case you want to:

His new mixtape “The Waters” drops any day now and I’ll be sure to check that out.
So , what do you think?
Sensed some of chances flow, JUST A LITTLE. It didn’t feel like he was biting his style at all. This guy is good, diggin’ it.
I bet they know each other, being from chicago and stuff.
Yeah, maybe. Do you know if this guy is signed to a label?
They do. They’ve even done a track together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBFppv6rKkw
Totally unrelated to the yay/nay post, but this “prank” video is either another thing Totally Wrong With the World, or Totally Right With the World. (hope the link works)

I just saw that. It’s fucking retarded. Those dudes deserve way worse than they got for even trying to pull that “Prank”.
nice.
Negro Leagues was tight, but you’re from Chicago throwin’ out Black Panthers and you don’t mention Fred Hampton?
