Thoughts: Really? This is the best ACL could do on the rap scene? I mean, I'm getting some good stuff in Kendrick, LL, and Schoolboy, but this is some weak sauce stuff right here. Kind of Drake-ish, in that he half-sings/half-raps, and some of these tracks have good beats, but the top few tracks on Spotify are all lame singing rap things with zero lyricism. For example, his most popular track (by a massive landslide) is "Say It," with 62.2 million streams.
He has no full-length albums, just a bunch of singles available on Spotify. His second-most listened-to track is called LA Confidential, but it is also jenky. With that in mind, I give you the #3 placing track (10 million streams), because it sounds way cooler, called "B.L.O.W."
Maybe "Diego" was the hit I wanted to play? Er, no, probably not. I'll give you one guess of the movie character name he repeatedly recites in that song? If you guessed Tony Montana, then you win a lollipop. I've got nothing here. There is no reason to listen to this music or go see his live show.
[updated 6/10/16] Spotify added a new single by this dude ("LUV") sometime recently, and so I figured I needed to check it out and see if he had made a change for the better that would change my opinion here. Nope, more bad autotune singy junk.
