[@gnarrcan108]

SD actually had the best and most consistent sound outta most of his gen. He’s always been the most underrated too me. He never got the hype that other dudes did bc so many of these kids listen to objectively trash music but love it bc they’re nerds about all the dissing and wanna be a gangland encyclopedia. SD and sosa actually could make pretty good music.

[@taligokrazii8365]

True

[@LiutBoldHamnaHiro]

SD is the best one. Followed by Lil Reese, and Sosa. Durk is the weakest but for some reason he's the most known.

Wish nothing but the best to SD, beyond his music just blowing up or anything. He seems genuine af and very smart. Gave me some of the best music to listen to in highschool. Much love and respect and I hope him and Keef and rekindle their relationship at least to some degree but at the end of the day they're both adults now.
