Jay Verze makes another SOTBMusic post with this one. Over a LexiBeats production, Jay provides a plethora of reasons why he’s a real one versus an army of fakes. Rapping in the chorus that “these niggas ain’t about what they sayin’ in their raps/it’s cool, everybody got a job,” Jay chooses to distinguish himself from […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @KiariTheStone Raps About the PRMSLND in New Project
As mentioned in my review of “Wrong Reasons,” Kiari The Stone got my attention because of his wordplay and his sing-songy approach to music.

It doesn’t stick just to traditional modern rap tropes (thankfully) and attempts to throw the baby out with the bathwater and create some sort […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Jay_Wyse – Back 2 The Basics (Feat. YG Teck and FMG Dez)
Over a beat that sounds straight out of early-to-mid-2000s Roc-A-Fella, Baltimore artists Jay Wyse, YG Teck, and FMG Dez go “Back 2 The Basics.” The posse cut goes in deep, especially because of the instrumental. Additionally, the track talks on that “real”–without glamorizing it–that’s often missed in a good portion of rap these days. As […]
