King Troopa – Anti-Social @Kxngtroopa
In “Anti-Social”, King Troop and Z-Ro exchange verses on failed relationships, knowing your true ‘self’, choosing to gain financial wealth independently rather trying to fit in with society, and other social issues. The song also covers the struggles of depression and anxiety due to a variety of causes.
