If you have ever played sports then you can relate. We have all played against a dude who from his outside appearance, does not appear to have any one standout skill. Not the most athletic, mediocre jump-shot, average ball handle and not very strong overall. One minute you are convinced he is a bum, the next thing you know, the game is over and homey just hit you up for 15 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and you had no idea how he did it. McKey, the former Indiana Pacer, was good for that.
There are a few MCs that are like that. Their flow is basic. Nothing special about their wordplay, not going bowl you over with super clever smilies. No deeply philosophical lyrics and not considered hot because of their "swagger." You just look at your track list, realize the songs are finished, and somehow, without you knowing, he had your head bobbin the entire time.
This is what I thought about after listing to Diz Gibran's mixtape - Soon You'll Understand. Maybe it is the Lord Finesse-like voice, or maybe the sincerity in his delivery, but one thing is for certain...dude went for 18 and 9 one out of nowhere. Decent little debut indeed...
