The raw, unpolished New York street rap French made before he became a global pop star.

A hungry, street-level confidence fueled by the urgency of the New York hustle.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The aggressive, distorted low-end on Roll on Em that threatens to blow out cheap speakers
The way the soul sample on City of Dreams provides a cinematic, melancholy contrast to the street-level lyrics
The unrefined, urgent delivery in Do for Drugs that captures a hunger missing from later polished releases
