He's alright I guess. But I really don't understand the name, I'm guessing it's supposed to sound like Aesop Rock?

As others have said, there is nothing special about this guys MCing.

Neither his rhymes, delivery, flow or lyrics are outstanding, and the greatest feature of his tracks is the top quality production, which he is not responsible for and therefore cannot truly receive praise on behalf of.

That being said, he's decent, no problems with him as a rapper, just if it weren't for the Clams Casino beats, there would be nothing to differentiate him from the many other 'decent' young rappers out there.

He really isn't anything special but there's something about him that is kind of addicting. Although I really can't stand "New York Bittersweet Symphony". Please, people, stop sampling that song.

Bass has such a great beat. But man I keep wondering what all these Clams Casino beats would sound with someone with a little more rapping skill. So far the only two rappers I've heard use his beats are this guy and Lil B. Does anyone know any better rappers who used Clams Casino's beats, cause they're really, really good.

I think the Curren$y/Ski Beatz or even the Mellohype collaborations are stronger than this, on all parts really. Purple Swag was nice but i can see why hodgy calls the guy jokccin.

eh, i can dig his stuff, nothing special but like was said before, it bangs.

Spaceghostpurrp actually did a beat or two on here, the Keep It G song; i liked it for sho.

First single off the upcoming album came out a couple of days ago, the beat was produced by the same dude who produced Niggaz in Paris. I think it goes pretty hard but I've heard criticisms on comment sections and such. Thoughts?

I like it. A lot.
