DECENT: “Intro (The Warm Up)”, “Welcome”, “Can I Live”, “Grown Simba”, “Dreams”

One of the best lyricists of his generation. I listened to him and Weezy the most growing up and while re-listening this mixtape after so much time I find it so much fresher than I thought in both sounds and content. Cole season incoming.

Dope mixtape, I love the chill vibe to it. It's a shame this one got overshadowed by FNL when they're not even that far apart.
