Earlier this year, Drake surprised the music industry with the release of Scary Hours 2, a brief EP meant to hold fans off until the highly anticipated release of Certified Lover Boy.

Now, Kembe X has joined their ranks by dropping his own take on “Lemon Pepper Freestyle.”
Even though he’s taking on the beat from Drizzy and Rozay’s most recent collab, Kembe X attacks his freestyle with DaBaby-esque energy, and throughout the track, he shows off his effortless wordplay, criticizes other rappers’ subject matter, and discusses his struggles with suicidal thoughts.
