For Kyle, “Universe Traveler” is an opportunity to show and prove, and he does just that alongside one of his own musical heroes with lines like, “I’m staying on the blocks like the first grade/ I’m letting off shots, get the First Aid/ Some rappers sling coke, I prefer cake/ I’m the last one broke and the first paid.” And while some might not suspect a collection of samples from Air to compliment the two tri-state representatives, Nate G’s smooth blend of samples, backed by chunky drums, provides an opportunity for Kyle to prove that versatility is his specialty. “‘Universe Traveler’ is all about being able to rap anywhere, with anyone, to be able to rap in any situation and still be able to come off. To me, that’s the definition of a true emcee.”
