I'll never see the hype with Rome. He's got good technique in terms of his rhyme schemes and a solid flow but he's saying a whole lot of nothing. None of his bars standout. He says all this shyt with zero flair, wit or style. And he's a completely charisma vacuum. Whiny ass voice.
He's the kind of random rapper you'd here on a posse cut in the 90s and be like "Not bad" then never hear from him again.
I can understand this take.
Rome is getting there. He kinda always sounded like he was reading his rhymes, to me. So the flow is a little choppy and off, but I do appreciate that he seems to be trying to work on a solid structure for the raps. You can predict what he's going to say half the time, but I like that he seems to want to say dope sh*t, lol.
His UK grime roots have his flow a little shaky, but I think he'll get better in a couple years. He's a good MC, but he has the potential to be great.

Chaos - The Album
The best Rome projects are the ones where he has a mix of subject matter and storytelling, plus the joints where hes just going crazy spitting.
Maybe thats WSG influence but I think thats why KTR is his big album, because theres a better mix of types of songs, and stronger songwriting rather than just rapping.
That being said I get a lot of replay value from the Daringer joint, and this one is a vibe. It just works.

I think he’s improved tremendouslyyyy since his earlier mixtapes. A lot of his earlier mixtape tracks was him just spitting over beats but they ain’t feel like “records”. There were flashes on Coup De Grace but it’s like something clicked when he dropped Kiss The Ring. The records sounded more polished, he sounded even hungrier and the bars were SHARP.
But he really taking it to another level with this joint and Hatton Garden Holdup. I disagree with breh saying he don’t be rapping about nothing - not true at all. He really telling ghetto street tales and overall to me he makes street “come up” rap. That’s kinda Rome theme in his music.
Example from Died 1000 Times:
I know robbers, dealers, scammers, shooters
Gangbangers on a quest to level up (Word)
Took a ride on the wild side with the God
To go and stick the Devil up (Give me that shyt)
I put mad work in, blood, sweat, tears
All grind, it was never luck (Nah)
You and I don't see eye to eye
You fukk nikkas never ever measure up ('fukk outta here)
Hoppin' out a Benz, 'member when I used to move the work on a Megabus (Uh-huh)
LI to the upstate, charge a fiend double for the better stuff
And countless other references similar to this. He not rapping about extravagant coke tales, he rapping about shyt some of us on here probably used to do before we got jobs, careers, families and quit bullshyttin and that’s relatable to me. And he not glorifying it, he just telling stories of his past life in all his rhymes.

I was just talking about him offline earlier.
He's definitely gotten a lot better than where he was just 4-5 years ago. I think he's getting there. Kiss The Ring is still his best sh*t, to me. Production-wise and lyrically. I think the thing that throws me off with him today, are his hooks. They're usually mad off-beat, and kinda always sound forced. On most of his joints, he should leave them out. They're really bad hooks, lol.
Despite not being very impressed by Rome, i gotta say this is some high tier production from Conductor. This is his best overall collection of beats on a project. I'd love to hear him and Marci do a project together.
