This rap video by Gwatsky has some of the fastest verse I've ever seen -- especially from a young kid on [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rizzler).

Given that YouTube has been the birthplace of more than a few overnight celebrities, it's not hard to imagine that this crazily talented young rapper could be next on the train to fame. He's fast, precise and most importantly, pretty catchy as he runs through a song that sounds easily as good as anything on the radio these days. Given that YouTube was what first lead Usher to Justin Beiber, it wouldn't be surprising to hear in a few weeks that some high-profile hip hop artist has gotten in touch because of this rap video by Gwatsky.
