After premiering on Fake Shore Drive, Sam Austins’ “Fenty” makes its way over to SOTB. The colorful visuals are as much a celebration of life in the fast lane as they are a celebration of Rihanna’s cosmetics line. Featuring a bevy of beautiful women and, as mentioned, a bevy of colors, the bouncy Ice Pic […]

JDVBBS returns to SOTBMusic with a new EP of work, 1000 Couches. The best way to describe this is 808s & Heartbreak meets Comeback Season Drake mixed with a bit of Pop&B.
