Kendrick: The war general strategizing as he looks at a map of the battlefield Lecrae: The lieutenant sitting on the other side of the table, reviewing Kendrick's plans Dee-1: The field marshal receiving and carrying out the order to mobilize

[@baelapoole2365]

Definitely not the same tone as Kdot and Lecrae, but he's still on the same conversation that they're having right now. This isn't trash. Its good.

[@DDKoD]

He’s a bit more agressive and blunt basicially saying “I’m gonna get you to listen”. His words are way to lyrical and conscious for the beat he’s using and to me he pursposedly used that beat to get peoples attention so he can speak to them

[@lastcall4111]

Should have chose a better beat and mixed the vocals….c’mon bro you on the big stage now

Also kendrick reminded me about lecrae and dee-1 who I had strayed from listening to over the past couple years. Now both of them have dropped 🔥freestyles that offer salvation and food for thought.
