right?? yea was mad to find this again and realizing I completely forgot about that track, still sounds incredible

and yea Sideshow lowkey has a super impressive discography already, in my top 10 rappers atm for sure. Wegahta Tapes prolly a favorite but I've really been a fan since the way early stuff and the newest is pretty amazing also.. all worth a listen.

special shoutout also to Anysia Kym's Soliloquy was one of my favorite projects last year + new MKYFM is different stuff, like one foot in rap one in dance music, love how they'd bridge this a lot (MIKE as well with ife.radio)

some pointers hope it helps ✌️

sideshow, el cousteu, and niontay

new big 3

He has short bursts of really good lyrics or bars and it’s aggravating . Almost like he’s a slot machine for hit or miss bars . Tbh I rap better than that nigga and that’s on my kin n dem.

Someone needs to lock him in a room with Mach-Hommy or 38 Spesh and have JuJu Gotti do his hooks on some dump tape s*** , it would be legendary he’d be an unstoppable force at that point .

I also like how he has slightly influenced MIKE and Earl in some of their resent work, so he’s obviously a good influence and net positive for the camp and everything. Dude is brimming with potential, kinda like another Yachty but underground and raw

MIKE literally made an album I literally used to fantasize about him maybe doing way out into the future. Didn’t think he’d double dip and take inspiration from his older work and reforge it into an entirely new weapon. Could explain why it’s called “Burning Desire” , and the theme is about killing (the competition) .

Also the fact that he is relentlessly focused and lyrical front to back on the entire album is akin to some dump gawd s*** , he’s like a spiritual dump king

sometimes I rather be deceased than say another bye

I cook dope just like my dad
He broke the pot and i put it wax
I came up from a hellava past
Touching a milly before i relax
Every time we see you we doing you bad, nigga we knowing we tax

still best Navy verse

bro how yall like sideshow this much bro has 600k listeners on spotify thats bonkerooni

f***ing akai solo has 30k

Damn I didn't even know about dude until the beginning of last month

always thought of sideshow as mike's friend who raps which there are a lot of ppl like that in my mind. but people are really calling him one of the best EVER. ngl I don't think I like a single song I heard from him

I really feel like Pacific Yew would fit in with this collective

Produces all his own s*** too. Plays guitar, does beat machine. He just started rapping this year which is crazy to me. Previously he did instrumentals and would mainly “sing” over them.

Same here regarding any heard songs

We ignorant and gotta change

its cuz he’s on alc albums

You ain't alone. Find him incredibly boring.

This Burning Desire is so f***ing fire bro

i love this label

It's not ALC, it's MIKE & sLUms. He's been around that circle for a minute now. More than a half a million monthly listeners going back to 2021

he's at 40k monthly listeners in 2021?

Was looking at something else but it looks like his listeners quadrupled from the beginning of the year
