Now this is news to me, but it makes perfect sense. PHZ-Sicks is a Texas-born artist making a name for himself out in the DMV. It makes sense because he has a bit of that Texas swagger, even though he’s residing in the DMV. Geographical discoveries aside, Sicks links up with OG Ron C for […]

Now, you all know that I rock with J. Cole. I’ve been a fan of the man since he was rapping on the “I Really Mean It” beat. I stuck with him through some of his cornier punchlines (ex.: “I let you feel like you the [ish], but boy you can’t out-fart me”), cornier songs […]
