      He did kinda blow up with Ratking but then kinda lost some momentum when Secret Circle fell out (fuck Antwon). It's looking good now tho IMO. He's got such a good discography, this Navy Blue tape seems like it's gonna be amazing, and honestly the hip hop world seems more ready for him now. Griselda and sLums are really big now, so I think a lot more hip hop fans have a taste for the kind of unique delivery and bars that Wiki has

When I inherited my apartment I stopped going to the roof because I now had my own room . Little did I know that one building inspection caused the landlord to install new alarms on the door way to go to the roof . I still have my room but god damn I miss the roof top vibes just staring at the view and thinking about life .
