Lito was one of the first rappers to put it all out there everybody else just catching up. Lito start making pain and depression music before any rapper hell he help me get through a lot of situations with that mental warfare FACTS

[@dontrellpayne8661]

[@OutlawFresh]

Hearing Gates make that comment about your “reality rap” is what made me go search your music in 2014…. And then Introversion dropped and I realized every emotion I’ve ever felt I can pin point a song of yours that reflects…. You’ve legit changed lives with your music, we appreciate it

[@OfficialDarkSoulMusic]

I love this dude. Relate to him so much. He’ll always remain one of my favorite artists and poets of all time

[@Official.Ziggy.Bandz9]

I pray starlito get all his flowers while he’s still here dude a real one

[@jayyc8844]

[@kkuttg1183]

Saw a lot of comments on the live when this interview dropped that Lito missed his wave. This man got his own wave and movement. Like he said he to real for this rap shit.

[@mr.whitlowjr.317]

[@SSBarchive448]

This is one of the most genuine Lito interviews I’ve seen in years. Y’all really get him to open up and go into great detail on his thoughts and dropping gems on his artistry

[@davidaustin8803]

One of thee greatest poets of all time..I would put his pen against anybody that ever lived

[@alfredlewis4150]

Can't wait for another Stepbrothers album!!!

[@lendanhoke9066]

Im just a white boy from WNC and ive been rockin w lito since '09. I'm 29 now, and still play starlito almost daily. No matter what mentality you need to cater to in that moment, theres a starlito song for it. To me, that is the mark of a true poet. The fact that he is so eloquent, down to earth, genuine and relatable makes me know he has touched many other souls other than mine. Thanks DGB for putting lito in the light he deserves, and thanks Lito for the wild experience i had at your concert in 2018. To one of my only rappers worth liateming to these days, i wish Jermaine all the best and one love.

[@kristisdale389]

First song i heard from Lito was A to Z back in '06,he was Allstar back then,been rockin wit em since.

[@WakeTheGreat]
