18-year-old Brooklyn native Desiigner hit it out of the park on his first try with “Panda,” garnering radio play almost immediately and catching the attention of Kanye West, who quickly signed him to G.O.O.D. Music. He’s been catching a lot of flack, however, as his sound is nothing like NY’s signature sound and much more like that of Future’s – an Atlanta native – but Desiigner isn’t scoffing at the comparisons. After joking about it on Instagram earlier this week, the BK rapper spoke about Future in a new interview with Complex. “God gave him a blessing, but he gave me a blessing too,” Desiigner said. “I ain’t gonna doubt the man’s music. He make beautiful music too. Music is made every day. Big ups to him, big ups to Future. I actually like Future’s music. I like his music, you feel me. I’m not a hater or a critic on him, you know, I do me. God bless him, God bless me.”
