Lyrics like “these days they gon’ hate you either way so these days I don’t even try, everybody picking sides so I keep it on my side” open a window into the personal struggles that have held 281 from dropping for some time. However, now that he’s back, make sure to check out his past project Loading…, which will hold you over until he releases new music.
