Sleepy really need to brake the barrier by being more social & doing more versatile features with other rappers . I want too see bro at celebrity basketball tournaments, streams, etc. He is holding back too much for someone who makes such good music.

I know hes usually not the most outspoken person and has anxiety n shit but it woulda been nice to see him with a little more energy and speaking more fluidly in this interview (edit - seems like he opened up more as the interview went on). Also even though Ak was putting a lot more energy into the interview it seemed like Sleepy was at least trying tho. W interview fr 👍🏽 Hope Sleepy doing well health wise (the last thing I saw of him was he was in the hospital for something to do with his heart) and mentally (the indictment shit and being in and out of jail while having a young kid) Glad him and Eli are free wanna see him Sheff and Eli go up fr 📈
