I've heard a handful of trax with him...and i like what i hear. I'll definitly be following him. The only thing that occasionally annoys me is his voice. I thought he already had a record deal tho.'

I thought so too. His voice kinda reminds of Mobb Deep`s Prodigy.

This is good news tho. I think he has potencial. I like some of those upcoming New Yorkers. Papoose, Maino, Hell Rell, J.R. Writer.
