Later that year he dropped his sophomore mixtape Freebasing With Kevin Bacon which I didn't get to hear all the way through. My first time hearing him was on Dizzy Wright's 2012 album Smoke Out Conversations where he had a guest verse. Armed with sharp, fast paced, comedic and yet graphic lyrics, it's crazy that many people don't even know of him.
As a member of the up and coming rap group/label Funk Volume (also consisting of Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, SwizZz and DJ Hoppa), he's no different from the other members. Now add to that list Jarren Benton, who's from Atlanta. Both are very lyrical and based on their music style no one would guess they are southerners. Two names I can think of immediately are Childish Gambino (Atlanta) and Jay Electronica (New Orleans). As far as lyrics, production and just overall originality. As the south continues it's mainstream dominance, there have been plenty of new MC's emerging from the south that don't have your typical southern sound.
