I’m proud of TOPE, as he’s been consistently improving his craft in the short time I’ve known him. This one is no exception as the “summertime in Cali”-themed single also doubles as a how-to guide for other indie artists. Over a pretty sick instrumental from Zach Striar, TOPE delivers some of the dopest bars I’ve […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @K1NGELJAY and @TheOnlyDGut Dance Like No One’s Watching in New Visuals
I can’t really speak much on the origin of the collaboration between D-Gut and K1NG ELJAY; I’ll leave that to you to read on Joe Hova’s site. But what I do know is this: the nostalgia gods shone brightly on this one. From the feel-good energy, to the iPod-esque imagery, down to the sample used (Funkadelic’s […]

I do miss the days that the remix included a full remix of the beat (there is one on A$AP’s verse, but it only lasts for a few bars).

Phillmysoul has been on a streak with his visuals recently. The Virginia native dropped the title visuals to his Faceinthecrowd EP recently and I’m a huge fan of them. Filmed at what looks like an abandoned K-Mart, Phill croons about his desires to be truthful to someone who still seems to see him as just another guy. […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Fairplay_2333 Watches out for FEDS in New EP
Hats off to Julie Stevens of FlowsforDays.com for sending this one to my inbox. The thing that got me into this one was the sample of Alessia Cara‘s “Here” producer LawBeatz flipped. He took that track and turned it into this menacing flip where Fairplay bears his soul in some ways while keeping his edge in […]
