The next song I really like is called Royal. This song is really different than a lot of rap you’ll hear these days, which I guess is the reason I like it so much. It is like really fast paced, but kind of has a sad and dark vibe to it. I really like the chorus, the beat is cool, and the versus are killer. If I had to choose the best lyric it would either be “I just spit a little bit of cr*ck, then I sit back and I get high of that bass.” I like these lyrics not because they are deep or clever, which they aren’t at all, but because of the great flow in which he spits them. Or it would be the chorus “Throw me the ball I'ma run with it, yeah. You have no seen nothing, I have only just begun with it yeah. I never be done with it yeah. Lately I feel I've been working too hard, It's about time I have fun with it yeah.” Deep, clever, fast.

This is definitely up there with Kilo when talking about my favorites on this mixtape. It is just such a good song, incredibly deep, talking about his whole story and how he made it through, while spitting versus with ridiculous speed and flow. Once again, it just goes to show how persistent Castro is. Every verse in this song is killer, for sure take a look at this song, listen to the lyrics, and think about how difficult it is to spit like that is, not to mention how difficult it is coming from what he came from (if you really want to hear a sad song about his childhood, listen to Revenge, which is also on the mixtape but I didn’t include it in my top four). The best lyrics in this are literally impossible to choose because I can’t type the entire song into this post.
This is the outro to the mixtape, and a really well put together song, with good vibes, good lyrics, and a great story. Just like all of the other songs, great lyricism, though what really sets this song apart is the killer beat and great chorus that Jon does. There are two parts of this song that literally gives me chills every time. The first is when he says “I’ve gone weeks with nothing to eat, but fast forward, just a couple years more, me and my team about to do a nationwide tour.” I’m not really sure why this gets to me, it might be because I’ve followed Logic so closely and watched this same thing happen to him, and I was just at his concert. The second part that always gives me the chills is “The girl that used to diss me asking me to call her now, I used to look out in the crowd and hear not a sound, *Castro*, yeah that’s what they shouting now.” Make sure to listen for those lyrics and make sure to check out the songs I left out as well! Thanks for reading as always
