Kanye West's "Real Friends" is becoming a popular freestyle record, and with its fairly traditional boom bap feel, it certainly lends itself to that kind of approach. The latest artist to try his hand at the beat is Emilio Rojas, who tells his own story while interpolating some of the flows and melodies of the original record.

Emilio's version actually focuses on a friend of his who recently attempted suicide. Included with the release of the track is the number of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. If you or someone you know is dealing with similar feelings, you can find help at 1(800) 273-8255.

Quotable Lyrics:
She pull up to the crib
I had to check her for pills
Shook her purse out on the floor
Man , it still give me chills
Man, she's not an addict, she's a fuckin' person
Take her humanity away, and the drugs'll worsen
