What does /mu/ think of this hip-hop artist

I listened to his freestyle mixtape when it droppes in 2010 but he fell off my radar until this year. I went into the new album with low expectations and was actually surprised. He brings a lot more energy to the tracks and is much perkier than he was in 2010. It was enjoyable.

To add: I like him because his songs actually have a message behind them rather than just "nigga nigga smoke weed shoot up some mofo's with a gat." They're surprisingly motivating as well, plus his voice is pretty soothing. Something about e-dub makes him stand out from the standard auto tune abusing faggot we see day in and day out. Sadly in the past few years he's kind of transitioned to the thing I just described, most noticeably in his new album "Two Tone Rebel" where he uses the hell out of autotune. Most of his older shit is straight fire though, especially any of the Freestyle Friday's.

Yeah it's definitely more energetic I just feel like he's transitioning into that thing we all are too familiar with (which has both its positives and negatives, energy being one positive you described but lack of variety being a negative). I like "Wait" but that's about it. https://youtu.be/IGDrdmIVMt8

Why's that anon?

>>70007815
He fell off hard with that EP in '14/'15. He's better when he does quieter songs like Get on Board and NyQuil

>>70008498
NyQuil is really good.

What's that?

>>70008498
By "what's that" I mean which one are you referring to, sry

>>70008580
Surrounded by Giants

>>70007888
I see what you mean with transitioning. I'd like to see him balance the energetic Two Tone Rebel stuff with some more chill songs and not dive completely into the mainstream sound.

It's not bad. I'd give it maybe a 7 to an 8. I need to check out his other work at some point though.

>>70008637
I'll have a listen
