“A Grammy award-winner said he don’t hear my passion / that sound crazy to me, ’cause I’m spittin’ my heart / These rich niggas soundin’ lazy to me,” Ryshon raps with pain and poise. To say you can’t hear his passion, the conflicting magnetics of his mind, on “Three Kay,” would be pretty crazy. This track, framed by a line borrowed from 3K–“Let me hold you down ’cause they shut you down when you speak from the heart”–finds the Philly MC getting a lot of weight off his chest about the industry, artistic pressure, and his past mental anguish. “I’m deaf to a naysayer / ‘Cause these days they hate you then they fans a day later,” he gripes in one of many instances of calling out hypocrisy in hip-hop. Thelonious Martin‘s beat provides a perfect, haunting backdrop for this kind of late-night vent.
