Be strong and see breath of fresh air and they clustered world of social media accounts and words like "lyricist" being thrown around like hot garbage. we get a chance to sit down and talk to D and find out his take on hip hop rap music Lo-Fi the whole enchilada. It should be interesting. Today's strain: Gelato.
