    Let's Get Lost, featuring Devon Baldwin, is a great example.

    3. Again, look at that FACE.

    4. He hails from Oakland, CA, home to MC Hammer and Keyshia Cole.

    5. He's not afraid to play the bad boyfriend in his videos, like in "Marilyn" when he cheats on his girlfriend and she catches him in the act.

    That wink at 0:37 though. *heart flutters and runs away giggling*

    6. He's considerate of his fans (and our budgets!)

    7. He gives zero fucks about drama with other rappers.

    8. One of his first viral songs, "Runaround Sue," has a doo-wop feel to it and is a remix of the original 1961 version.

    9. He's talented AND smart, which is always a winning combo.

    10. Just take another second to stare at this face.

    11. His most recent album, These Things Happen, debuted at number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.

    12. His video for "I Mean It" is a hilarious change of pace from his usually artistic videos.
