But, first, a word on the young rapper. Namely: What the crap?

Somehow, despite a terrible flow, which is always, without question, filtered through Auto-Tune, and with even worse rhymes, this kid keeps getting hyped up.

Why? Makes no sense far as we can tell here at DC9 HQ.

Someone wanna explain it to us? Seriously: What kind of dirt does his family have on Lil Wayne? Or, for that matter, on XXL, who recently anointed him an artist to watch in 2011 and beyond, by naming him to their 2011 "Freshman Class" alongside the likes of actually decent acts like Yealwolf, Big K.R.I.T. and Kendrick Lamar? How is he even signed to Young Money in the first place?

He seems like a nice kid and all -- maybe too nice, actually -- but is he anything more than a cute kid being used as a ploy to get young girls hot and bothered? Doesn't look like it. And, while I guess there's a place for that kind of junk in popular music, it'd be nice if there was a little actual effort put into it. Right? Right.

Glad we're on the same page, then. Oh, and don't forget to watch that video after the jump, I guess.
