Hailing from Staten Island, young rapper Lou The Human looks set to make a name for himself with the truly brilliant track ‘Fuck Your Opinion’. Stepping up to the plate with an ice cold production, old school beats and orchestral sweeps, the New Yorker delivers his realest narrative to date. Reminiscent of the savagery and despair of Eminem, consider this Lou’s mission statement. He raps about real life struggles, mental health, poverty, dream chasing, youth, absent father figures, and his greatest competition - himself. There’s so many quotable lines in this epic five minute and twenty-two second track, but one worth taking home is the lyric, “the only man I compete with is the man in the mirror.” From the highly promising mixtape Humaniac (2017), Lou The Human exceeds expectations - not that he cares about what we think anyways. - Hannah Thacker
