New school kid, Old school swag. I love this guy.

[@bubbygfox]

You can tell Biggys music played a massive part in this kids music. So much OLD SKOOL when you listen to Astro rap. He's trying to bring that old skool rap back. That's what you call reall. He ain't changing his style for no one. He's so smooth with his lyrics. Straight outta brooklyn hittin us with some rhymes that we haven't heard for a long time.

One of few black rappers that doesn't need to use "nigga". If you listen to other rappers, they rhyme nigga with nigga many times. This kid doesn't even say the word. He barely swears too. Love this kid

[@jackchristiansen8136]

If you want to pick hairs he did say jigga around 2:30 but you're right his bars are clean as hell, its so annoying when potential is muddled down with profanity and shitty beatbox fillins

"Kick it like the old jigga" is a jay z comparison

Everytime I listen to this I think of how underappreciated and unknown this is, one of the best sways

Astro's rhymes were hot when he was 15, he is still growing. Give him 5 years this kid will be the next Nas.

[@Tori8683]

MOST DEFINITELY!!!!!!

[@hueyfreeman7184]

Stop, just fucking stop. "The next Nas" If everybody keeps saying something will be the next Nas they'll only get ruined.

I Agree hes already there if u ask me

[@chrisr6950]

nah he will get picked up by some label and they will turn him into another puppet

[@jamesslocombe2064]

Fite Me word, Astro is absolutely dope and spittin fire but if this kid gets over-hyped, bigger chance he'll flop

He is big

[@Flopanhug123]

Jarid Emmenuel i don't think so. he may be a little famous, but he hasnt achieved his highest point in his fame in my opinion

[@jehovaswarrior6455]

Flopanhug123 this dude is only 16 he hasn't even found out what he is capable of yet when it's said and done i have a feeling he will be mentioned with the big and pacs

[@Flopanhug123]

Jehovas Warrior right?

[@sonorous6419]

I meant in the grand scheme of things, being recognized is a big deal in itself. He was on TV, he's worked with different producers. As soon as puberty leaves its effects on his body, his voice will finally be crystallized, apt for a good MC. Also, remember how Michael Jackson was recognized as an indefinite great when he was far younger than Astro? I think Astro has a similar trajectory, but not nearly as epic in scale as that of MJ's.

[@missyoli7266]

When I saw this young man on XFactor I was beyond impressed. Why isn't this young man signed? He is better than most of the rappers out here today. Someone give this man a record deal!!!

[@jehovaswarrior6455]

he was signed after x factor by guess who LA.REID's def jam and they shelved him for a year so he left them

[@Ratacon2004]

Thank you to everyone who corrected me on how long he rapped for. I had put before that he rapped for 4 min and 20 seconds straight. When in reality it was 4 min flat. It's s till a very long time....

[@BubbaGump010]

no he didn't..

[@OmgItsRipL]

BubbaGump010 It was exactly 4 minutes

[@BubbaGump010]

indeed he did. +1 for you.

[@RichOffStocks]

I guess u didn't hear when he said you wanna hear more rhymes than show me dollar signs....he woulda kept going

[@BubbaGump010]

***** yeah i heard it, so what? 'he woulda' is what you said but fact is he didn't.

[@Lenerdblack]

damn straight. It's fantastic to see Astro! It's been hard to find him after he got off the X Factor. keep being the BEST rapper of our time Astro. Eventually the whole world will agree with me!

Yo this is like old skool flow, I've never heard this dude before and he was so tight, so refreshing.

"Fake MC's couldn't grow without Monsanto." Nice!

+Swampnutz10303 Most people won't even get that line. You gotta do your research to figure that one out. The kid is sick

"fake mc's couldnt grow with no monsanto." lol idk how he knows bout monsanto but thats nice. 🌱

[@xxcalimanxx5753]

Yeah that line literally went over my head. But it gave me a chance to educate myself!

[@queta7539]

Mosanto is a seed company that pattened basically all the seeds that farmers get there seeds from and its almost impossible to find seeds that dont come directly from monsanto seed genes

[@nicholassingh5355]

Kid's got talent, and he stays grounded. Appreciated some real lyrics, plus the brotha can act. Astro keep it moving, stay humble, and remember the one who's given you your gifts.

[@AZNCallOfDuty]

So excited Astro is dropping a Mixtape on December second. I've been expecting big things out of this kid. You can see, feel, and hear the NYC in him. I thought he fell off, but he's back December 2nd

[@hotsizler305]

It is an ep it will be on iTunes and you better buy it if you actually support him I know I do

[@4GOLDIE4]

He mixes 1993 Snoop Dogg, with East Coast & his personal style very well... He's definitely going to take a spot at the top one day...

[@robertnickerson6380]

This is the best 5 fingers of death freestyle to date and probably the youngest to even attempt it. Bravo. Standing ovation

[@ThePrimalOne]

No cursing or the n word! this kid is good!! I hope he keeps this up. for real though its good to see an African American MC freestyle without the profanity and he does it so well too. good work, astro...good work.

[@randyh.7782]

Black rappers who don't curse or say nigga in their raps tend to be underground. The mainstream rappers are prodominately the ones who use a ton of profanity and the word nigga continuously.

[@HawkeyeNation6969]

+Randy H. Quit being so corny. Kids dope regardless of using profanity or not. But don't even try to tell me there aren't artists who do use profanity that aren't dope...chill

[@D3VIIV]

No words. Young kid old soul it's amazing how young he is and freestyle like that. My top 2 rappers right now him and mock Jenkins both raw af. Love hip hop

[@kudabeen]

The polish at this age is the most impressive thing and that is ON TOP of immaculate bars. I was introduced to him now and going back in his history surprisingly he has been consistently thorough. Dope.

[@moiselafontant8326]

What's fly is that that he's spitting fire with a high level of intellect and without the need of the use of profanity. Sad that never lasts.

[@o.n8910]

How can a kid be so good? i've never ever bought an album but i would buy his album if it came out today just to show my respect because the man is special and with guidance he will be bigger legend than jay z and many other rappers ever was. I can just listen to this kid flow all day
