LSB Midseason Community Prospect Rankings — #13
Congratulations to Anthony Gutierrez, who won the voting to be named the #12 prospect in the LSB Midseason Community Prospect Rankings with a little over 20% of the vote. Because there has been a history of vote-spamming shenanigans in the rankings, I used Google Forms for the last couple of community rankings, and it worked out well, so we will use it again. You will need to include your LSB user name when you vote. If you don’t have an LSB user name, you need to use some sort of identifier. While this won’t eliminate the possibility of vote spamming, it will make it harder.

Following similar vibes to "Unreasonable Doubt", which was released in April of this year, and sounding similar to Varials (hailing from Philadelphia so it must be something in that Pennsylvania water), the track is a certified banger from start to finish.
