I'm glad they made him drop through da storm thats one of my favorite songs.

[@The541Joker]

Saaammmeeee😂🙏🏼

[@SofoniBeats]

He had so much diversity in his voice

[@Nyeshi]

When it showed Through Da Storm. He talked about how it didn’t sound great. It’s one of my favorite songs off the album. Your voice has more of a raw sound to it. Shows where the art is made and it drags you in even more. Sometimes it’s better to have a raw sounding song than a polished song. 🔥🔥

[@The541Joker]

He says that but it’s on my top 5 of his track

[@dragonflyswataswata5135]

I don't think he said It's bad I think He was Disappointed with the volume of the beat to ear & how he articulated the word's & the placement I don't think It was a bad song just as good as It could've been as he was saying
