he had some really good joints that were outside of his normal area of expertise. songs like round of applause, etc... its just the other trap sounding stuff got placed more. he kinda took shawty redd and d-rich’s style of doing a 2 note key change every 8 bars and the crazy snare rolls and, no pun intended, put that whole style on steroids. i hope the kid is okay and in a good place enjoying his money and making music. people have to understand when these producers “fall off” they’re still making music, probably making more interesting stuff than what got them on...its just not getting place or they’re not even trying to get placements. these guys are going to be making music for themselves regardless because they enjoy the actual process
maybe he thought it was corny or he just didnt know about it, but lex would have dominated the “trap” scene in 2012-2013 when dudes like hucci, lunice, flosstradamus were getting big. he could have easily transitioned out of rap and into that and frankly made more money
