My homie Lex Rush really did it. Like, she really did the “Freaky Friday” of white male privilege. And it’s amazeballs. It’s both comical and thought-provoking. Plus, the cover art is ri-dick-ulous. Bad puns aside, she brings up some great points about men (especially some of those who are “white” in skin tone) and gender […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Mike Melinoe Wants to Know "Her Name" on New Track
Mike Melinoe is back with new music. Lyrically, he’s at his top level. Subject-wise, he’s getting fried to experience some new things. Sonically, I’m getting serious Travis Scott and Cudi feels with a bit of Danny Brown, in that its dark, but still engrossing. You’d think that the song is just about getting some sex […]

All I’ve got to say is “don’t change.” This album is like if someone took the beautiful parts of 808s & Heartbreak and MBDTF and revamped them for the post-Xans era of hip-hop. The songs are, well, songs. There’s more than two […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Drex Carter Experiences "Monday Mourning" on New Track
What do you get when you mix the sing-song nature of a Post Malone with the introspective nature of a J. Cole and put it to a beat that sounds like it could easily be a “Lucid Dreams” remix? You get Orlando artist Drex Carter and his new track “Monday Mourning.” The track also seems […]
