This kid is pure hip hop.

[@kadiraydukureh7680]

This is real ny hip hop but is sad he will never sell nowadays because no one wants to hear this anymore being lyrical doesn’t sell anymore

[@blacktee31]

Damn I thought this lil nigga was gon be some bubble gum bow wow type shit, this nigga is lyrical wit it.

[@ganjaboii3007]

Haha this comment had me rolling 😂😂

[@Hydroy]

Lmfao 😂😭

[@blacktee31]

***** Real rap. That's what I want people sayin bout my city 50 years from now.

[@ignitethosebeats]

blacktee31 where u from man?

[@fikkid]

i'll be damned, boy is cold

[@kudabeen]

It's like he found Big L and Biggie's old notebooks or something...his style and references are beyond his years unless he just happens to culturally identify with 90s movies and music that much. That is uncanny to reference things that are literally before your birth culturally so much and be on point. I don't know many under the age of 18 that can reference if they've even seen Do the Right Thing...He is beyond nice with it, but it is also off putting at his age...just wonder what his reading habits and cultural identifiers look like at this age to write this way. Incredible.

[@makesomenoiseagency2815]

He surely is more clever ..... anyway....his influence is Brooklyn

[@josephgibbs3952]

can't stop listening to this guy

[@ca9th]

Thie lil dude dope. 100% hiphop!

[@bravalin8872]

This kid brings a smile to my face. I miss that NY sound so much, reminds me of the good old days bboying with the homies in SD.

[@sonder333]

"I'm gone reach the masses without kissin asses"

[@flipingboredcritic]

Astro is to Rap as Mozart was to classical music. I can close my eyes and shake my head to the rhythm. This is art, in its highest form. Freestyling never sounded this good til now. This boy needs to be sign man. Talent and amazing

[@flipingboredcritic]

***** don't care dude, either way, i think people need to support Astro's music

[@parix85]

i always come here to remind myself of what is hip hop and what it could have been.... Astro was fire Stro changed him...

[@Machine_Learner]

We all keep coming back to see what could have been.

[@taolomatseka5205]

Nah blud stro is fire i got all his albums he still dope.

[@coreyjackson5753]

@@taolomatseka5205 didn't know he had a album..never heard him on radio either or video..liked him on BET the booth

[@Dddd-xl4sr]

[@crazya6565]

This kid is fucking dope for real. He studied the greats and you can hear them in his bars/flow. Prodigy.

[@jermaineparker1959]

WOW... This kid is amazing. Still haven't heard an average verse from him. Amazing.

[@sodiqoladunjoye3830]

[@CloutBoyVlogs]

He was great this is real hip hop he got the fast flow like the old jayz and he is just good straight up.

[@letmetouchme]

I could care less if this is off the top or not, this dude is nice.

[@revoksixth690]

"The pop charts got the game ruined, missing the real like a ficition film"-Astro thats got to be one of the dopest and truest lines ive heard in 2013 ...BARS!!!!

[@freakyydeacyy]

And won't stop till I got a collar-a-dough like boulder Top 50 lines ever

[@stephenolander963]

Stro is on his own damn level, gotta be careful though with his lyrics though, og's not gonna be bumpin a 16 year olds music and kids his own age/fan base aren't going to understand 95 percent of his references because they're from the early 90s and too deep for this generation to even beginnnn to grasp. Too nice!

[@redinkpenner1]

He's 20 now! This video was 2013.

[@nicholasjleblanc]

6 yrs later and this is still one of the grittier freestyle I've gone across 🔥 dudes still one of the favorites

[@str8jaber]

[@BadMonkeey]
