Can't believe I've been sleeping on "The Weekend"

I've had these 2 songs on repeat all day!

I used to think he was a rapper, had no idea he sang until my friend played one of his songs. I really dig these two jams.

Anybody else like him? Post more music if you do!

I liked him at first, and still do somewhat.

But he is a horrible live sign, and his tone of voice is particularly screechy - even on his tracks. The sound is nice, but each song begins to sound too similar and his voice can eventually get annoying. Lyrics are kinda average.

+ That Dirty Diana cover is atrocious eek

He needs to leave the covers alone and stop acting like he's drunk and intoxicated on grass all the time and he'd be fine but it seems like he's real good in the studio only. That said, he's real good when it comes to original material.

His voice is super basic lol, he sounds identical to "The Dream" which I find odd.

He tried to cover dirty diana? Lawd I bet that was a mess! falloff

I've never actually seen him in person, but from what you tell me Timmy he's just another one of those people who try to be "down" and end up looking like a buffoon, like Lil Wayne.
