Other than The Dream, I haven't been this impressed by an R&B artist in a long time. What strikes me the most abouot him is his innovation and creativity. If you need an example, listen to Giberish of of his debut album. I expect a long run from this cat.

i luv him n all his songs

This boy is tight,to think he did most if not all the beats,and the fact that he just got fab as a feature on one verse shows that he got what it takes 2 rock a whole album.I find myself playin this album more and more.the last track is a lil wierd because it has no real words,but it still sounds cool.

I thought this guy was whack until I heard the whole album for myself. All I'm gonna say is he gonna be one of my top artist very soon.

Wow.... I can't believe they put him next to those "similar artist" over there. He's way better. This album is fuckin' hot!

He's the next big thing. Since I discovered him in '07, I've been convinced that he's next, no questions asked.

I wasn't convinced on his music, when I heard Ryan's Diamond Girl(I thought it sound like a Prince's song). But one day I came across two videos of him that made me change my whole view of him. The first one was a video of the making of his version of a break-up song called "Promise Not To Call". I fell in love with the song v/c it explained how I was feeling at the time about a certain someone and it hit close to home. But also the guy did everything when came to making his music..from keyboarding to small background sounds to mixing to actually singing. The second video I watch was a news coverage about him from his local news around 1994 (before Stardom). The coverage was about how he helped kids at the Boys&Girls Club. I think he used the words in his music to inspire them...or something like that. So yeah he's a genius..musically&literally(S<br/>tarted Harvard at 15 and graduated at 19). Oh..and I love the fact that he blogs on Youtube and let you see how the music comes about.
