Dudes kinda fresh. Gotta Raekwon roc Marciano vibe about him. Digging it a lot.

I keep trying with this kid, I like the style he is going for, but everything I hear reminds me of a lesser polished version of Willie The Kid

I never thought I'd have a Hitler speech blaring out of my speakers.
Love the production.. agree with all the comparisons. His raps make all his songs sound exactly the same and he is clearly out shined by these newer guest spots.

I dig this cat a lot, fuck a lot of the criticism. He just spits drugs, crime, and labels, and his flow is straight. Was listening to this cat when I almost died rolling/crashing my car and the radio never stopped, so I know this nigga rugged. That track is dooooope

Liked this dude on the purist album. Must say it took a few spins for me to start to dig his style. Will check his other stuff to see what's good.

Did anybody fuck wiht this Hall & Nash ep he did with Conway?

I gave it a spin yesterday and enjoyed it, Gunn sounded better on here than on his solo. Conway is a good compliment to him and maybe even a better rapper tbh. Either way, they make a good group. It's not mindblowing stuff but scratches the spot for very Ny-ish goon rap. It's nice too that these guys are obviously fans of Roc Marci and Ka and Willie the Kid, and it seems like they're trying to emulate them just as much as they're channeling the usual late 90s-early 00s NY influences

Gave it a listen, not bad at all but only really one song stood out, can't remember which. I prefer Hus & SmooVth when listening for the sound/vibe described above.
