Success in regional areas generally breeds copycats and slews of unwanted attention just trying to ride the coattails of the current trend. Since a certain Wiz kid has the entire world screaming “Black & Yellow,” it’s to be expected that Xeroxed versions spring up left and right. Fortunately for us and the entire Steeler Nation, B. White has his own lane and sense of purpose, dictated by a lyrical front wheel drive.

Minimalism works wonders for certain MCs and over Big Jerm’s light yet cinematic piano riffs, The 58s frontman lays his life on the lines of the pad scribed by his pen and verifies his self-worth without the use of “bitin’” or any sort of gimmick that will prevent fans from latching on the secondhand smoke he’s emoting from the booth.

Take a hit. It’s pretty potent.
