DAX is here to stay

I first heard about him last year 2021 from a friend. I thought my friend was unnecessarily praising him until I listened to "The Next Rap God" which was his own version of the original "Rap God" by Eminem. It was amazing because the rap was a complete 10 minutes rap, non-stop. I immediately became a fan, since then i have been enjoying all his songs and his songs are not like others that just mixed up meaningless words with hip pop sound for the sake of making a song. I think he only has an album but each and every of his singles and mixed tapes is always getting better than the older ones.
