:mjcry: i don't like his music at all BUT

Sad thing is he won't recoup that advance anytime soon. I know it's cool to laugh at dudes who bomb but the reality is that these kids are exploited. Kanye picks him to help write his shyt, then a label gasses him up with dreams of maintaining the life he's watched Kanye live. Signs, has no buzz, and bombs.

If the label gave a fukk about him they would have had him do mixtapes and tour with similar young artists.

expected something like this.

Guy got no promotion. only thing I can think off the top of my head that got him exposure was being on the nightly show.

maybe if his label pushed him like what Roc did to Cole, Scope to Kendrick, and YM to Drake maybe he would get somewhere.

He's not that popular of an artist yet.
