i think this might be his hottest freestyle of them all... this guy is a lyrical genius.. if you love hip hop support Crooked I
this is one of my favorite beats of all time, and crooked I kills it. I like Cam's takeover freestyle too, but crooked I is a beast. Everything he spits is fire... he has an amazing lyrical talent that most rappers can't say they have
