I’ve always got a soft spot for DIY hip-hop. I mean, shoot…I was the “No-Fi King” for a while. So, when this one came across my desk–er…my inbox–I had to check it. Corina Corina is a Oakland by Brooklyn artist that decided to create a tribute to Run the Jewels that also speaks on her personal […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @PHZ_Sicks – "Hurts"
A few years back, DMV native PHZ-Sicks had a project, The Moment, that was named as one of 2DopeBoyz’s best mixtapes of 2013. Since then, the artist has been busy with his band RedRoom and working on his own craft. Today’s track, “Hurts,” is the product of that perfection. Slated to appear on his upcoming Good […]

Read moreNew (To Me) SOTBMusic: @Jay_IDK – "Hello Pt 2"
Now, I’ve been following Jay’s work since the “Shotty Mouth” days when he was still trying to find his sound. In my interview with him from 2014, the HXLY TRiBE leader made mention that he was aiming to change the game and change the way that folks looked at DMV music. So, any new Jay […]
