For his contribution to the upcoming Boondocks mixtape, Skeme absolutely brings it. Over a jittery beat, the gravel-voiced MC doesn’t exactly “paint a picture,” but he does thump his chest like an animal and let us know how hard he’s worked to get where he is, and how much he’s going to keep working. The TDE-like vocals on the hook just seal the deal. Listen to “Paint A Picture” below.
