VIDEO | Glasspopcorn “My Circle” PREMIERE

anyway, this video is dedicated to the adult who once told me at a debate tournament that being a white rapper would hurt my chances at staying in a monogamous heterosexual relationship. good thing im more attracted to energies than people. but thanks for the advice, im taking it.
