This is how you flex on your raps. No fake shit, no fairy music, no bullshit aggro super thuggery and insecurity. Just raps about how he made it through hard work, and shows off the spoils of his labor via skill, features, and talks that slick shit as far as possessions. This grown folks flex music. Everything worked on here, the production is top tier, and very SOUF. The features are up there and have a dope range. The contrast and all just to keep up with the main even himself. He cooks on this, from real shit, to slick shit, but never loses his cool, pocket or flow. The pacing is dope and honestly this is so versatile, it can be looped anywhere in any situation and up the energy. Throw this own if you feel like homeboy from spring breakers sometimes. In rotation.
