    I love him, he's a genius, this Gemini Rights album took him to a whole new level, I love him with the internet and Ravyn Lenae. I just want to smoke some weed, thrift, make out with him and sing background for him. He's the perfect young artist comprised and inspired by so much, being so multitalented. No wonder "Amber" is such a beautiful gospel build.

    I love Steve Lacy, but these hosts do him (and all other guests) a disservice. They are fairly unaware and ask dull questions that don't move the interview along smoothly. They aren't entertaining and that's especially off-putting considering their time in the industry...embarrassing, really.
    This model is so outdated, 'urban/hip-hop' media can do so much better. There are young journalists and music enthusiasts waiting for these opportunities that these tenured talking heads have taken for granted. Truly a shame.
    That being said, Steve's music is great and Gemini Rights is a nice showing of his growth as an artist. Shoutout to him for dealing with this press tour lol.
