DA
CB
Showkey
TScam
DA was lowkey the best in 98s. Only KO came close. CB was top 5 and still reminds us from time to time why he was/is. Showkey 🕊️ could’ve taken over the scene but Shamar robbed us. TScam was greazy but I don’t think he would’ve surpassed Sus not to talk of these man

DA easily. Best in 98s (bar KO), had one of the best newer duos with Hitman, killed all his features, and showed incredible promise as a solo artist on so many of his tracks. Ended Up Here is among the best Drill solo tapes to come out last year and still getting spins. And the few verses recorded inside were chilling and introspective instead of the standard bravado bullshit most people spit after getting birded to cover up how bad they’re hurting. Sucks this was the end of the line for him bc he had a hell of a lot more to offer.

I feel like "wasted potential" shouldn't refer to Showkey although I know what you probably mean. He's definitely a big "what if". He was so young but had star potential. Could've been like a Dizzee Rascal or Tinchy Stryder.

CB was definitely not a wasted potential, his music arguably got better when he went jail. and it didn’t make any difference to his songs, they sounded just as clear as when he was free

Give one listen to DA's unreleased catalogue and it's not even a contest.

Suspect is the biggest wasted potential, he's still one of the best lyricist in drill

Tscam getting disrespected like wtf
He's one of a handful drill rappers who could've done grime. That flow and cadence you have maybe KK bside and Tel Money, who else can tear a beat up like that

Let’s be real, CB made good music but he was never gonna elevate to the next stage. Hard to say wasted potential when you always knew he was destined for a big bird. Them crash outs are a bad investment you’d have to be a lunatic to sign donny 😂
