I’ve always been the type to give credit where credit is due. Michael “Sto the Last” Stover (a/k/a Big Sto) is a brother who deserves the roses while he can smell them–even if some people think his advice is hating (trust me, it’s not). A fellow indie artist/writer, Sto and I have conversed via social […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Asante Farid Celebrates His 25th Year with Jubilee
Before today, I hadn’t heard of Atlanta-born artist Asante Farid, who recently dropped “Jubilee” as a celebration of making to twenty-five.

We’ve all had it and, depending on our mood/situation (while we’re single), we may sway to either side. Sometimes, you just want to see the world. Sometimes, you […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Olumide and NoFace, Rapper Link Up for "Do It Sum More"
Olumide and NoFace, Rapper recently dropped a new collaboration and, yes, it’s pretty awesome. “Do It Sum More” brings their distinct flavors together to create something that feels very Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa-like in its approach.
