My brother put me onto it. It's hot in my opinion. My favorite tracks are Swim Good and Nature Feels. It has a different feel to it. Like, not too mature but not that childish R&B that people been coming out with lately. Thoughts on it?

    I was pleasantly suprised...i thought since he's affiliated w/ Odd Future he'd be on some dumb ? ...

    'We Try' is VERY impressive

    Only song i truly dont like is 'Will be Tears'...

    Love Crimes and Songs for women are my 2nd and 3rd faves

    Novocane after 100 listens STILL goes hard as ?

    The mixtape is quality, Swim Good and We All Try are really impressive songs whilst American Wedding did the Eagles instrumental justice. It flowed quite nicely too with the tape recorder parts too. Definitely made me a fan of the dude

    I just had this conversation with my brother yesterday. His affiliation with Odd Future is gonna keep a whole 'nother fan base from checking for him. They'll be expecting him to be on the same ? they're on.

    He has something to say with his music thats for sure . I rarely get excited about a new artist, but youngin is the real deal . I hope he always has the left field element to his music , but also keep the soul aspect to it

    Like everyone, I thought he was going to be on the Odd Future stuff till I heard Novacane. Which lead me to hearing this mixtape, I like "We All Try, Love Crime, and Songs For Women. He needs to break away from odd future.
