Hip Hop: The Very Best of 2012

The pride of Columbus, Ohio, Copywrite is one of raps most talented lyricist. On God Save the King, he delves further into his views of religion than any artist I’ve heard in a long while. The elephant in the room is how big Copywrite’s ego is when he doesn’t rhyme about religion on songs like “Swaggot Killaz” and “Workahol.” Copywrite’s voice plays with beats like teens play with video games, intuitive and unpredictable. “Gsk” first verse reflects Copy’s persona “Now if any rapper is iller than me I must have missed that shit. If your girl is chilling with me she must of kissed my dick. I’m the king.” Copywrite balances this king-like persona with a couple of tracks, the most noticeable being “A Talk with Jesus” where he talks about his struggles with growing up as a sinner and how confusing religion is to him after experiencing so much loss.
