 Y1 makes a comment at the top of the song that indicates listeners will find him to be original. I cannot say that this sound has never before been created, but this is still a solid listen. Stuff like this makes for a great live performance.

I was literally just listening to this MJ song the other day... (one of my favorites). Cool flow by Y1 but I think the production is the standout here...(and MJ is too of course)
