Danny Brown is okay, but my dude has nothing on El. I'm sorry. Danny was exceptional when he started doing shows though, before he got his 15.

Elmatic may have been the best release of the past, like, 5 years. http://banjoreviewhiphop.blogspot.com/2013/02/elzhi-elmatic-2011.html

I'm sad about Big Sean getting so much more attention then Elzhi. My dude is the best in the Detroit game. Em and Royce are the only other two alive here in Detroit that are even in Elzhi's league.

I wonder if that's really the title? He deleted that tweet and said 'damn didn't peep that? What the heck? Lol. Plus that's a lame title, Evidence already did that.
