Bonus Episode

In this episode of Rap Nerd Reviews, Derek “D-Sick” Moore, founder of Rap Nerd Radio, dives deep into MEntal HELLth Despondent, the concept LP from lyricist T.O. Lestat. This project is dark, personal, and cinematic — a reflection of Lestat’s 2023, shaped by real-life struggles, pain, and growth. With a Boom Bap foundation, intricate wordplay, and vivid storytelling, T.O. Lestat paints raw, emotional pictures through his Reality Rhymes. The album plays like an autobiographical movie, complete with a hidden track that caps off the journey.
