Fuck yes. And he sounded soooo good on the Isaiah Rashad record too. Just feels fucking awesome whenever he raps tbh, he must develop such an understanding with the guys he chooses to work with. I think I heard he worked with Prince - I always hear the vocal in These Walls as him even though I;m pretty sure it isn’t.
