    Firstly just because he’s not a slave to the music industry doesn’t mean he’s a good guy. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Why you people thinks he’s cool because he doesn’t do what others rappers do; he still raps about the same thing sin. His label and nick name is diemon; take out the i then you get Demon: no this isnt some coincidence. He’s capitalizing off the fact he didn’t sell himself to a record label like many other rappers does. He did the same process that many rappers does. Look up who is his Dad, lol this guy always had money and the resources to record “great” music. If you not serving the LORD, your serving the devil. Be not of this world Yahoshua said.
