Tiggalo for Dolo:
Know what you mean, I'm unsure as to whether he will come with his solo back on the emcee tip... hopefully he will... but that song sums him up really:
"? be asking me “Who we got to ride with?”
They saying “Come back Tay, we been craving”
We need LB to come and save the rap
But, truthfully, I don’t think the ? needs saving
I think we got wives and sons that need raising
New dreams to fill and for that, we need patience
Twenty-one years old, I used to slang verses
But ten years later, I am not the same person
Whole new perspective, not the same purpose
And sometimes I have to question if I even want it
Not mad at the game ’cause it is what it is
And not mad at the radio ’cause I don’t know what’s on it
Be in my own universes when I be doing verses
Burn ‘em down like the ? used to do to churces
Back in the day in my town, ? " -
Tigalo for dolo was nothing but truth spitting but that is what my man is great at. Just giving his life story's to his life supporters.

Most definitely, I think he's a gifted songwriter and can appreciate his singing on levels, but it doesn't change the fact that the majority of his fans want to hear him rap more...
And agreed, not a fan of 9th's production more recently, but can definitely respect them squashing the beef. It sounded an immature beef in the first place to be fair. More unwillingness than outright wrong doing on both sides.
Either way, hoping he'll be rapping more come September.
Yeah 9th's production can be repetitive over the duration of an album. I liked the dream merchant vol2 because he did mix it up a little bit but it can still be tough to sit through the whole album without skipping any tracks -

Which is a shame and why I'm a much bigger fan of Phonte on 'Connected' as part of The Foreign Exchange... it's a shame he can sing, 'cos I think we would be three 4.5/5 star albums in with TFE.
