[@yudahel8521]

He’s dope

[@thelightseeker94]

Doesn't shock me that he's a neptunes fan. That sound really holds up and still stands out even now.

[@Horac3]

True indeed, Neptune’s sound is unmatched. Plus Brent from The DMV, we’re a different breed and naturally rock with our own. (Pharrell/The Neptunes from The DMV as well)

[@firebrand7753]

With that neptunes, drake collab too

[@montlee1990]

When I first heard him years ago I was like damn how bro ain’t blown up yet. It’s hella nostalgic and it’s put in a different mind state

[@mansonmitchom5326]

Imo this might be a stretch but I feel like he’s like what Jodeci brung to R&B when they came out, I think that’s his closes comparison. He’s super talented.

[@montlee1990]

I think he sound more like the lead singer from 112

"I wanna have a clean slate by the time the album comes out" why don't more artists understand this? we don't like hearing previously released songs on "brand new" albums.

[@jassass1n]

from their perspective the old songs that have been received/streamed well will help their album’s credibility and round it out. especially to anyone getting into that artist for the first time. i hear you and agree to an extent but the artist’s/labels have a purpose for doing that

[@winnumber101]

@@jassass1n I do understand where you’re coming from-this makes sense

[@wpbdog1625]

Often if they are successful they push the album monetarily. Respect what the fuck they give you or don't listen. Quit all the bitching, that's why creators quit then y'all go to crying.
