[14] A more formal account appeared in local Dallas media, documenting a Fourth of July-weekend shooting in Dallas's Deep Ellum entertainment district. No one was injured at the concert, while outside, one person had died. [15]
Fazo's musical style was described by NPR 's music critic Sheldon Pearce as, "Only his [Fazo's] music can feel like it's moving at warp speed, down to the pitched-up, distorted vocals that feel like they're blurring by you as you listen." Pearce also went on to say how Fazo's rap sounds as if he were from a cartoon. Pearce stated Fazo's "exists in the same sonic ecosystem as nu-trap characters like Yeat and SSGKobe and former Slayworld collective members like Autumn! and Summrs." [16]
