Pulling into my all Black 8th grade school, the new kid, and the assumption was: he’s BIG, so he must be dumb. The sentiment though, the sense of being out of place while in place, an outsider while never being more of an insider, while it’d not be appropriate to use the word “haunted” has forever been a feature of my time on this planet.Īnd not just for racial reasons if you’d be prone to think that and since that was the implication in the scene where Edson vibed Latino.

Fans were waiting for Too Deep For Tears when the mixtape came out. “Sleep at Night” was on Peezy’s album “In The Meantime,” which came out in 2020.
