Kota the Friend might be the most consistently solid rapper we have going at the moment. The Brooklyn, New Yorker has always impressed us, mainly because of what seems like effortless storytelling. Words just feel like they flow right of the pen when he writes, and they all just fit seamlessly. That happens on this new track from Kota the Friend called "GOOD NUMBERS."
This follows up a pretty steady stream of releases from him. The last offering we covered from him was the excellent love story single "PNW" (Pacific Northwest). In between "GOOD NUMBERS" and the former, Kota also put out "Bad 4 U" on March 20, just a day after "PNW." On this new track below, the veteran rapper is seen writing another feel good song about becoming a successful artist and how that can help his loved ones in the future.

Quotable Lyrics:
Rent due every week it seem, bills is on your a**
Landlord do not see the dream, haunted by your past
Making you repeat the scheme, you just gotta feed the seed
Water and delete the weeds
Don't think I don't think about your pain
I just hit your phone, so I could say
