Sounds Like: Funny my big sister told me i sound like a ghetto version of "the fresh prince" circa 1989
i got a lot to say and i focus on substance instead of swagger so thats what the lyrics are gonna always sound like.as far as the music we are extremely diverse so you're gonna hear all kinds of "music" and i mean "music" in my songs.
i am curious to find out what yall think i sound like though.let me know.
