Being the open minded hip hop fan that I am, I always try to broaden my horizons and try out new music. Whats the point of music if you only stick to one genre or one artist, that's how I have always felt. So when friends suggested artist to me I listened. My girlfriend at the time used to rant and rave about Joe Budden she would go on about how great he was, and how deep his lyrics are; so in an attempt to shut her up,I gave him a listen and I've been a fan ever since. Several friends who roam the forums on this site were constantly posting up songs from wale so after listening to a couple of single tracks from him, I purchased one of his mixtapes and found myself thoroughly impressed. It is through these experiences that I have learned to trust the judgment of my friends when they suggested an artist, because nine times out of then they were usually right.

So when several friends approached me ranting and raving about this new artist who comes from the show Degrassi who raps and sings, I found myself instantly interested. The idea of having a rapper who could also sing and incorporated both talents into his artwork was something that both intrigued and impressed me. It is very rare that you can find an artist who can do both and still make it sound good, and as we already saw from Black Ty or whatever he called himself it isn't as easy as some may want you to think. So with the intentions of only hearing good things, I purchased two mixtapes. The two mixtapes were So Far Gone, and Comeback Season. After listening to both mixtapes and listening to them more several times actually ( I kept falling asleep while listening to them) I have come to the conclusion that he is not that good..........
