His intricacy of what he talks about, how he puts it together. I don’t need help, I could do it my fucking self… J. Only because hearing him sing ‘Brand New’ and ‘Say What’s Real’ and everything on So Far Gone just blew my mind. It’s so much music being put out, you don’t know what’s good or not.” It’s a lot of people that I didn’t even mention that need to be on there ’cause, bruh, this shit is hard nowadays.
