This guy has the best production of anyone on the circuit as well as some really great lyrics delivered with energy

Did you want a deeply layered metaphor? Cos you totally got one

The best that conscious rap has to offer, a shame he doesn't do more

Wondefully arrogant with talent to back it up, an insane genius.

Childish but filled with energy

Somehow a conscious rapper hit the mainstream and we love him for it

Something new and vicious as hell
