Sorry Kevin Gates, but Flo Milli is the one who doesn’t get tired! If you pay attention on songs such as “Ice Baby” and even her debut viral hit, “Beef FloMix”, you can see that she really uses her voice an instrument. Breath control is the ability your diaphragm has to fill your lungs with air and gradually release it. Because of this, Flo can speed up her bars and still annunciate her words with fluency. (Da Brat is known for this as well.) In a world full of mumble rappers, this alone puts her ahead of the pack.
