Killer Mike:

And there was a razor sharpness and edge about him. Young, handsome dude, great voice and man was just spitting up truth. It was just literally like everything he said it felt authentic.
Damien Scott:

Rocsi Diaz:
Like you’ve been here,
Damien Scott:
We’re just talking to you, again, like that same kind of quality of just, I’m just talking to you, I’m just telling you what’s going on in my life. I’m just, I’m not I’m not overexaggerating anything, everything is real to me. And he had a flow that was just incredibly water.
Killer Mike:
Yeah Atlanta, actually, he wear it like a masters track. And I love that.
Rocsi Diaz:
