I’ve got some new see.francis for your earholes. “Lifetime” is definitely a track that’s worth checking out and channels some Kendrick-esque vibes, to put it simply.

Brampton artist Staasia Daniels hits SOTBMusic with a smooth “if the shoe was on the other foot” vibe with her latest track, “Handle It.” Over deliberate drum hits and a chilled-out, post-modern feel, Daniels proposes that her ex (or soon-to-be ex) is on some other stuff.

This one is different, in some ways, from his PRMSLND project from last year. However, we’re definitely seeing some growth while still seeing what makes […]

I got this one in my inbox from NC-based artist Ignite Mindz, who hit me after seeing some of the positive vibes I’ve sent regarding stuff from C.Shreve the Professor. Great minds think alike, eh? Anywho, I got into this one because of the story behind the cover art; the deejay in the cover art […]
