    I really enjoyed Zero Heroes last year...he hasn't really evolved in that year though...most people still classify him as the typical "blog rapper"


    That cover for his upcoming mixtape is sick as fuck though
    THIS AIN'T NOTHING TO RELATE TO.

                  I think his lyricism was better but I don't think the production was on the same level as Zero Heroes.. The Awesome Sound did a great job on this project but Seven & Just Blaze I think have a little better chemistry with XV.

                  But yes he's ready for his Album.. I can't wait for it tbh, Top 5 most anticipated Albums for me of 2012. With Just Blaze & Seven producing most of it, & maybe 1 Awesome Sound & Cardo Beat, this could be such a dope debut.

                    Yea I agree but regardless its dope. I hope he gets more J. Cole production XV has good chemistry with him too
