    he's decent and I support in that from-my-city way, but he lacks his own sound...it might come later, but for now, he's as good as what he's guesting on and/or what/who he's imitating.

    I like that Page song he was on "still fly", very catchy.

    True, he sounds a lot like Weezy at points on here, but he's got some dope lines, and he's got ill flow.

    My roommate just played me like 3-4 tracks by this dude. He's an animal. Sounds so comfortable on the mic.

    I'm not too familiar with his material but these two freestyles got my attention.

    He kills the Kanye "Say You Will" beat for about 3 minutes:

    and then him and Wayne over "Ignorant Shit":

    He sounds great but I can't stand these plastic beats. I would like to know how he sounds on another beat.

    I love these beats. Awesome arrangements. Interesting sounds.

    I guess I'm just too old for that. I'm not preaching like "Hip Hop never got better after 95". Still like a lot of stuff coming out today. Also synthetic, electronic stuff but this here... I don't understand it.

    Anyone else listening to his new tape? So Far Gone dropped last Friday:

    I didn't realize he had such a R&B/pop influence but I heard he's been like that since jump. He seems to like making R&B cuts just as much as straight up spitting. I would've liked more rapping on the tape but I'm not mad at tracks like "Houstanalantavegas" or "A Night Off." Either way I'll be checking for him.
