    It's a lot easier to understand than his usual music

    I understand this even though I think he's using more complex words for no reason

    I like him. He's simply too inaccessible musically for me to really really enjoy his music but I like a lot of his more straight forward tracks and his latest album is really easy to listen to

    some of his lyrics are insanely deep

    like Rings for example, is incredible. He's a wordsmith without being literally cryptic

    right like on the surface level he seems kinda like those soundcloud rappers that use larger words to seem more sophisticated but he pulls it off well
