I never really took great interest in his freestyles or features until he dropped 'Ima Boss' a track that is already a classic, not only have I blogged about it but I still play it daily on my drives too and from work. For any of you who swept that track aside for any reason, take another listen now and rethink
After that he wen't from one success to another with Dreamchasers and DC2. It's evident in his lyrics and his life story that he's been grinding every day to not only succeed but to live, which is what I think have given him the ability to rap about deeper emotions that just guns and money. Something like a Drake from the hood. There examples off this on 4 tracks on Dreams to Nightmares, but I think it's most evident on my favorite song from all his mix tapes, this one is called Big Dreams. His flow and lyrics are completely on point through out the track, painting a picture with every line with enough words to make to feel completely inside his head... Inspirational and Motivational are the two words whihc spring to mind every time I hear this track
Dreams to Night Mares not only does this, but does it on the very first track, the intro blew my mind. It just shows how far he has came already as an artist, taking everything he has already achieved and pushing it to another level and connecting with his audience like I've never heard a rapper do before. He completely dominates the instrumental with his flow, yet you can hear and appreciate very beat. It's just lyrical and instrumental clarity through and through. Take a listen now...
