In 2017, R-Mean came week after week with new music for his "Mean Mondays" series. Sometimes he'd release little freestyles and other times, he'd deliver full original content. After re-launching the series earlier this month, he's been asking his fans to request popular beats for him to tackle. He's previously gone in over ScHoolboy Q's "Man Of The Year" and last week, he hit flipped Drake's "5AM In Toronto" to "5AM In The Valley." This week, he's taking on A$AP Rocky's massive posse cut from his debut album for his "1Train" freestyle.
R-Mean's comes through with straight bars for A$AP Rocky's "1Train" beat. R-Mean wastes no time as he jumps on the beat and completely demolishes from top to bottom for nearly three minutes straight. It's another dope take from R-Mean and each week, he'll be coming through with more music so keep your eyes and ears peeled.
Quotable Lyrics
A wise man opens his mouth because he got something to say
A fool opens his mouth just to say something, need I say more?
I share my battle scars, as deep as they are
'Cause we finally makin' money now, the legal way dawg
