Symba Talks "Results Take Time", Working With Dr. Dre, Label Switch, & More

[@tidey4]

Man, I love this dude's energy, he is very comfortable in his own skin. No gimmicks or acting like a tough guy just straight good music and bars.

Mehn! I'm so impressed and I hvnt even heard any of his songs yet and am a fan already.

Glad to see Symba getting his shot and publicity that he worked so hard for. He is a true artist in every sense of the word. He embodies what it is to be an artist. He is a part of this class of Titans of lyricist that are beasts. I love this rise and reemergence of "rappers" with bars and conceptual music being relevant and widely accepted as the top artist in the game. Another one added to the list of J Cole, Kendrick, Joyner, Benny, Dave East... This is just the beginning. Sky's the limit for him.

"In Disney movies, why do people die in the beginning?" It definitely IS good story art, and that's why some of our best/favourite art derives from pain and suffering. It's something people can relate to, something that makes us feel closer to things we idolize and love. The best art in my opinion usually comes from sadness and pain.
