I’m not sure if it can be stated enough that here at GFM the criteria really does boil down to the music and its level of growness(yes I made up a word). On a personal level I don’t care about any particular aesthetic, what I’m looking for most is what’s being said(what’s the story here?) and when you have a cautionary tale like this one from CeeMajorr and Reese Chubbs with a great turn of a phrase you can only do what I’m doing which is to press play, repeat that and share so that others can enjoy as well.
