Him rapping about being young, partying, smoking weed, skipping school on occasion including maybe some sad times in-between represents this youthfulness and joy that is once so ever nice to see in music. But how much can you dive into the topic of youth anyways? The relatability of the lyrics semms like one of the key things in my eyes. His lyrics circle somewhat around the same stuff all the time though, making it lack a bit of creativity, couple tracks on this album also being pretty much nothing mindblowing instrumentally-wise either.
