* DarkerAndEdgier: While his music has always ventured into dark territory, as out would expect from hardcore rap, ''Blank Face LP'' barely contains any commercial concessions. Even its big hit single "[=THat=] Part" has a dreary beat.
* DotingParent: Talks about his daughter in several songs, and she makes guest appearances in some of his videos as well. Outside of his music, he often posts images of his daughter's soccer games on social media.

* TrueCompanions: Him and the rest of the Black Hippy crew.
