      spamrobban fym, with all due respect to Nas' writing skills and amazing poetry, even Nas said he was 20 on Life's A Bitch and I think he wrote most of the album at 19 then dropped it at 20. Still amazing though.

    When I first heard Survival Tactics I was out my mind. Then I paid attention to STEEZ's verse and I'm like how is he that young with that level knowledge to drop that verse so effortlessly. Joey was the leader but STEEZ was other-worldly. His entire mixtape has no skipables in my opinion.
