This mixtape literally picks up where \u201cThe Great Debater\u201d left off and leads you directly into \u201cA Dream Deferred.&#8221; The tape is split into 2 parts, Theo Huxtable and JJ Evans. The first half of the tape has me rhyming as if I were Theo, with the world from his point of view. Being well off, having to live up to a family&#8217;s expectations due to their success, etc. The second half is from JJ&#8217;s view, with the sound being slightly more aggressive and the stories built with an &#8220;in need of something&#8221; attitude. The tape is the idea of the vast contrasts of a life that my people and I dreamed of and aspired to as kids (Theo) versus a life that was more of our reality (J.J). This one is for US.
