To be quite honest, he’s accomplished much more than artists with the big machine behind them and he’s very humble about it. I think what made him stand out was that he was himself. Most independent artists are either boring as hell and that’s the real reason why they can’t grt signed, try too hard to be socially conscious and artiststic or sell this fake ass hood rapper/trap star image. He just wanted to make good music that indie but still able to crossover. “No Problem” was a HUGE record for him and introduced him to mainstream radio. He’s worked VERY hard to push the idea of being independent, its funny when people try to say his parents wealth played a big part in his success but he’s been open about his parents not supporting him at first because of their backgrounds and political dealings and that was one of the reasons he went the independent route. He’s definitely a big deal!
