Valee does things a little bit different than these other rappers. His Instagram Live strategy for instance. “I never go on live,” the Chicago rapper and GOOD Music affiliate revealed during a recent visit to MASS APPEAL HQ. The soft-spoken MC whose shape-shifting flows and patterns have altered the audio landscape also addresses imitation by other rappers "When I listen to it I really never get the time to get mad, because I'm so happy that they didn't do it right," he says. "Anybody who uses the flow-Tyler the Creator, 6ix9ine, Nicki Minaj-no matter how big they are, it just makes me happy. Because you're so big but you can't do something right."
