I just got to this one after a couple days away from the site. Wowzers. It sounds like a mix between a Quiet Storm instrumental and a west coast house tune. However, since dearDSNY (Destiny) hails from the DMV, there’s a nice heap of DMV vibes mixed into the three-minute track as well. If this […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @bigtymeofficial, @fattrel, and @iamkinglos Team Up for Count It Up
Years ago, you’d be hard-pressed to find a Baltimore artist and a D.C. artist who were willing to admit the other was dope, much less collaborate with each other.

I found this one while perusing through Soundcloud. See, it’s not just XXXTentacion clones, guys! All (bad) jokes aside, The Freely Spoken brought me in with the jazzy boombap. He kept me with the bars and the struggle shown throughout the short track from his Cold Cuts project. If the rest of the project is like […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @_ANXT Delivers the Over/Under with New Bars
ANXT returns to SOTBMusic with some new energy. This is darker than his previous offerings, but doesn’t relent in its onslaught on the game. The first single from his upcoming Keep Your Eyes Straight and Your Mouth Shut, “Over/Under” has the scathing bars I’ve come to expect from the Chicago native but a different mood […]
