you could also use some songs like J cole no role models .or 21 savage a lot . i see him now as more of a gangsta type of dude . so it make sense for him to make these type of music now. after 1 or 2 albums i can see him writing kanye album MBDTF . because as the other comment said . he is now a pure gangsta so it make more sense for his things to be more Hood
Alright my suggestion would be for his first album to head in a 50 cent direction gale is a survivor like 50 so get rich or die trying would be a great idea and for direction i would Do the album release arc but not keep Him Super clean like make it so he has his fair share of run ins with cops and fueds with other celebrities establish him as a celeb that is truly from the gutter After all he is and in the process he builds his own rap group or something Similar with artist from multiple genres and they could have affiliation with costra i belive His gang name is or be allies of costra giving him more influence in rhe underworld at the same time
