Great Accomplishment Shawn, now show the world your talent
this is Eminem’s new ghost writer.
you working in hip hop?
Idiot…
What a toolshed!
So to all intents and purposes Shady, basically signed a white Drake. The dude seems talented but I can’t help feeling that this was more a strategic plan than anything. Or maybe I’m cynical. We’ll see…
Not at all true. Do you even listen to the lyrics in songs? Drake is a metaphor beast, Astray is a beat, metaphor, and hook beast. Get your mind right brag!
shady needs to sign someone to flow for him lol writers arent the issue. the robot flows gotta go
sir this is a business.
Em should sign Willie the Kid.
Why would Willie sign to that wack rapper?
no EMINEM should sign .
Ashtray?
I grew up in the same area as this dude. He has been grinding for years! Congrats to Astray and staying true to the hustle. HARD WORK PAYS.
