This is the definition of “flowetry”. Olu, a 19 year old Cleveland musician has made a masterpiece with this!
By using Kanye’s brilliant beat from Blame Game (originally featuring John Legend), Olu turned his perfectly written poem into a great song. Having been making music for the past 7 years and releasing 6 mixtapes, Olu has mastered his art of producing his own music and then doing his lyrical thing as well.

he’s actually sampling Avril 14, which kanye sampled as well. I think kanye got the idea from SNL too, since lonely island sampled it for a song in 2009.
