I have a lot of different metaphors and references in my stuff. I'm a sports junkie at heart. My old stuff had a lot of filler, but on these newer ones, every rhyme means something. nothings there just for the hell of it.. the 520 references refer to the address where all my friends live: 520 Holmes Street. Some of it is more on a local level and other stuff is pretty obvious. If you listen to the Wu or Nas you'll defintely see some double meanings in some of my stuff referring to them "protect your neck", "bring the ruckus", "it aint hard to tell". And like half of my beats for this mixtape either feature a Nas sample or I used a Nas instrumental.
I'll give your tape a DL here tonight. Any music you wanna send me, feel free to hit my inbox. I've always been a music head, but never really had the patience or talent to learn guitar or keyboard or drums, or anything really. I just lucked out 2 years ago and lived with a kid who made beats and I thought I could make much better stuff than the amateur rap i was hearing on youtube and whatever. Some kind I kinda know has a band with a pop-punk/hardcore sound and he wants me to do something with his band. I kinda have that yelling type of rap voice, so im excited to try it out and see how it sounds, im always up for anything creative and out of the box.
