YG KRONIK's "I’M THE DEVIL" is a horrorcore-inspired, committed, intense joint that takes a walk on the dark side.

The end product is a song that is cinematic in presentation but still has the urgency of modern underground rap. The storytelling approach makes it a layered listening experience that pays off if you’re paying attention and engaging
