After many dubbed him as the new Nate Dogg, he used his deluxe as a way to carve a lane for himself. The pressure is nothing new to the LA singer/rapper. His project has been crowned on social media as one of the most solid albums of the year. Blxst showed maturity and growth in such a short time after his release.
