      His mysterious-side made him unique, more unique then what already is with his vocal talent. One of those things where when I was listening to his mixtapes and no one heard of him or thought his PBR&B/Alternative R&B/Indie R&B era was slow and boring, yet those same people are now bumping his pop music late to the scene.
