    Haven't been listening to anything but Cal since July. Dude is unreal. Dripping with confidence which seems to run off onto the listener and just makes your overall day much better.

    People are sleeping on you still!! I personally feel that Cal Scruby is A1. straight up, I just started listening to Cal two months ago and I will consider him a GOAT even when I'm dead and gone. I was Born in 1990 just to add some context,and not that my opinion matters, but he belongs among the greats, I hope you achieve all ur goals and have a fulfilling life Cal. Thanks for the music. Hope to meet you one day. I'ma do my part too and start putting your name out there big pimpin. G.O.A.T keep up the great work. I'm not just gassing you up either. looking forward to hearing more.

      @@aaronlewis2667 hip hop doesn't hate russ, stop feeding into the narrative. A lot of rappers don't like russ because they're different kinds of rappers than he is. People don't hate russ specifically, it's almost only people who don't listen to the type of rap russ makes

    I was in LA with my girlfriend visiting my mom. We were on Venice beach having lunch. The waiter came up and asked if we liked Chris brown. Yeah, sure, he’s got some good songs. He said he was down the way shooting a video with a rapper. So we walked down there and I heard “aint shit changed”, and that immediately made me interested. So that was the first time seeing Cal and hearing the song, So I waited for the music video to come out and I’ve been a fan ever since. Unsigned is such a well crafted album, I have it on replay every day lol

    SHIIIIT MY PANTS TOO. I've been saying the same thing about Religion, so hearing someone else finally say it is amazing! Also, the way you talked about Chris Brown was done very well. Also, Cal came so far amazing to hear your thoughts is amazing. Thanks for doing the merch and sharing so much! Anxiety was on another level and I related to that like crazy! I've been loving how connected you are, sorry to hear it has been a struggle! I totally get what you mean about touring and selling yourself to people. Totally unconditional love here, thank you for sharing your thoughts about it. Uncomfortable shit sucks, apparently the more you do it the easier it is but damn getting yourself to do it is fucking hard ass hell. I hate crowds so I feel it. I like how comfortable you are with not knowing who you are. You are such a positive influence in this fake world, shout out to that song btw, I still fux with it! LOVE YA my MAIN MANNNN!

    I liked the shirt with Chris brown and can I flex but now seeing him after going independent it's like night and day. It's cal keeping the label, then cal keeping himself happy and it truly does come through in the music. The last 2 albums are straight fire and I banged like the same 12 songs until I knew every last word. I love the line "keep it cool like pies in a window, numbed out like ten toes off of benzos, I been dope, this is what I do to instrumentals, other rappers set the bar low I don't limbo" straight fucking 🔥🔥🔥🔥

    As a dude that's been a massive rock and rap fan since the late 80's you a real one and you have some seriously creative word play. Even throw away lines like "you don't score enough I mean no offense" are clever as fuck. One of my favorite rhymes is that bit where he says "you can't guard em, the boy like harden, there's no defending me" or that whole " ten toes off of benzos, I've been dope this is what I do to instrumentals, other rappers set the bar low I don't limbo" 🔥🔥🔥🔥 so many bars I can't cover them all.

    I love Cal. Y'all are dope. Stuff like the "Dad giving rim jobs" thing are cool with people who understand it's a joke. You're making people happy. The whole religion thing I agree with you that a lot of it is feeling lost. The feeling of being broke and just not caring is faith reaching out to you. Don't follow religion. Follow faith, truth, just try reading the actual scripture. Not only do questions come exponentially more than answers but millions of things happen every second. We will NEVER be capable of keeping record of everything and knowing everything. Once we realize that. Put faith in yourself and your God given talents to make a real change in the world you will start to see insane results in everything down to your everyday actions. Even if you don't choose to believe in God and Jesus being a loving person is a lot of the toll that you will have to pay in life. It's just impossible to stay in that ZONE or flow state when you put everything on ego. You get caught up in feelings and enemies instead of just vibing and winging it sometimes. Shine brightly regardless of who pretends they control you. It doesn't hurt you to believe so long as you speak to God and ask for help for others over yourself. Don't let these modern fake religious types kill your spirit with judgement. My writing skills were good but now I'm untouchable through faith. I'm not pushing it but if it helps you as an artist I'm genuinely happy I could help y'all. Much love. You guys are dope and I appreciate the conversation to help me on my own way through recording school. 😁😌
