The charismatic rapper has blown our minds with his style and delivery in his lyrical content.You could sense his adventureness from the way he sounds cos he says i dont want to sound like this dude or that but want to sound like myself. His goal is to let you enjoy what he is spiting out.Ironically ,the approach to his first album is to set aside all the movement in the hiplife industry and free himself of any pre-conceived notion as to what his song should sound like.
The studios is where he feels most comfortable. He has realized that you cant worry about what u did last year or the troubles out there. He tells the ’Beat maker’ let just do it.
