Astro‘s first feature, late October’s Deadbeat, saw him venturing into autobiographical territory as he aired out his feelings of resentment toward his old man. Having gotten those painful memories off his chest, the teenage Brownsville, Brooklyn native and former X-Factor USA contestant’s elected to blow off a little intellectual steam on the follow-up, a low-concept yet hard-hitting jam showcasing his many Methods of microphone murder. As before, he does double-duty on the mic and behind the boards, lacing his own stripped-down retro boardwork with bars delineating his lofty aspirations in the game: “I’m right behind the greatest / Tell Hova I’ve been lurkin.” Will this ambitious upstart someday be mentioned in the same sentence as Shawn Carter? Never say never. In any case, those who like what they’re hearing should stay tuned for further news and tunes leading up to the yet-unscheduled release of Astro’s DeadBeats & Lazy Lyrics tape.

This kid was crazy on the X-Factor. Check out the songs he performed. Great flow and his lines are really good for his age. Very talented as he can rap and make beats.

This dude was nice on the show and the flow is really good. Not much of a fan of this old-school beat, but the wordplay is undeniable...

Astro is beyond talented, age aside. Love the 90s era throwback sound. You can tell that Astro has listened and studied hip hop's sonic history.

To be honest I've heard of Astro from the x factor (That elimination was painful to watch) and I wasn't expecting much since he is younger. But im pleasantly surprised with this track. His flow is on point and Igot into it.. banger for sure

Never watched the X-Factor before hearing this, so all I can really say is that, win or lose, the kid has talent. Only thing I would hold against him is his age, but once he gets a little more mature and his voice deepens just a little bit more, I think that he will be a real problem considering his flow was very on point and unique. In time, I feel as though the world will be hearing more from him.
