Why do we like this?
Leimert Park's Troy Johnson, aka Co$$, aka CashUsKing, is one of the last of a dying breed. A lyricist first and foremost, Coss is less interested in exploring the material rewards of his musical profession than he is in exploring himself and his craft. He is uncompromising in his dense verbosity and unapologetic when pulling you into his world of contradictions and doubt.
When most MCs pose as solipsistic alpha males, Coss constantly battles between the confines his mind and physical body are subject to. In this track from his forthcoming album Before I Awoke, he expands on the feeling of being trapped and finding freedom only in dreams.
Brooklyn's Sene comes through with the assist on the second verse, and Stones Throw luminary Aloe Blacc delivers a smooth chorus.
