Musical style
Richardson's early solo music has been categorised by critics as depressing rap with the hate out weighing the supporters he still done his style and stuck by it. He disavows that his music makes people feel depressed but rather explain depression on a level only people who suffer it can understand. He quotes " I make music for people who are depressed as an outlet, a healthy alternative people can relate to than rather bottle up your emotions, thats how people make poor decisions and become sick mentally." His music often incorporates "trap", "heavy Metal" & little bits of "country" with lyrics. He has cited some influences including "Sybyr", "Nascar Aloe", "Slipknot", "Luke Combs", "The 2 Live Crew", "The Cure" & "Yelawolf".
