Dude just can’t miss. At this point we need him to get a key to NYC or the Garden at minimum. This has all the raps you could ask for. Hes spitting game, hes talking about his journey on all fronts, hes swagging, with punchlines, flows, metaphors, honestly all of it, delivered with the cadence and delivery of someone off the streets of NY who is quick to curse you out on a packed street without spilling whatever drink is in they hand or getting close to dropping they morning cigarette hanging off they lip. He even sings, has catchy hooks without sacrificing how real the hooks are, and then goes toe to toe with his features who all absolutely showed up, Sky and Flee both representing the same NY energy just from they Burroughs. This is what should come to mind when you think of a straight forward non gangster definition of NY hip hop. Shout out to him for also having album cover of the decade. In rotation, and if its not then you probably think NY pizza is overrated, or don’t have bagels wherever you from.
