Cant listen to that boy voice
That’s what kills it for me. He might be nice lyrically, iono. I just can’t get past the voice.
what is the appeal of this kid? It must be b/c he’s white, b/c I think he sucks..
Not a Miller fan but he knows his hip hop and always pays homage. for a young dude, I’m impressed with his 90s hip hop knowledge. Not many in his age bracket know or care about dudes like Sean Price or even get on the mic with him for a feature unless they from brooklyn or starting from the bottom trying to get on. Even young Brooklyn dudes act like these legends ain’t shit because they don’t have current radio hits. much respect.
