    Nah this is literally everything. He shouldn’t have been flexible with his range at all. I’ve never heard any male cover of a female song sound this good while singing in his comfortable range. His tone makes up for singing in the lower register, and also he’s a baritone covering a soprano. This cover is 🔥🔥

What does that even sound like? If shitting into a mic sounds like what 6lack just did in this here video, then either way you're still irrelevant. Goodnight 🕇
