In addition, NYC dance music/vocalist Farrad ranted and raved about Drew after seeing his video on Logo. He said: “…on comes this fly ass beat taking me back to the days of REAL Hip-Hop. And suddenly the MC’s flow is as potent as any I’d admired during the days of Native Tongues. But the video is this fantastic animation, and the lead is an out, white, gay male… serving shit up with more realness than a number of my brothers currently on the scene only serving up baffoonery. Ladies and Gentleman, I give you Drew Mason…”.
