The God emcee that you gotta see…
“all they talk about is kenny, drizzy and cole

reduce the brightness of your devices
sleep 8 hours a day
all those things they warned us about, follow the warnings
please
No fast food music
High quality music
Won the biggest beef in Hip Hop
Dropped the best album this year
Put the West Coast back on the map
Sampled 2Pac’s song and killed it
Reminded artists how to RAP again
Kendrick Lamar is the man of the year
