Raz Hardy’s Verse in “AOA”
Nonetheless, any verse that prioritizes Hardy showcases the musician’s talent as a lyricist and rapper with fast-spun witty lines sneaking past the audience’s ears. Equally prevalent with Mich Kidd, the artist refuses “to be identical to the rappers before us” with unapologetic brags that would make Nas along with the Detroit Scene proud. Overall, the ultimate message between both artists is the power of creativity to any and all who aren’t “afraid to be different.”
