Virginia duo The Fury MCs return to the site with a “bouncy” homage to dreaming and dream cars. Sick of the 9-to-5 and 10-to-6 life, Dre and Rome get their roll on like Baby and Mannie. The song reminds me of some early K.R.I.T. and Sant more than anything. There’s a youthful maturity to each […]

A sign of a motivated artist is knowing when they need to evolve. I knew that I needed to evolve past no-fi in order to grow, and I recommend other artists evolve past what they’re known for, lest they find themselves in a rut. Thus is the case of Verze. The former Jay Verze, now […]

It’s a cool project that showcases […]

I don’t think I need to discuss my thoughts on JeRonelle’s sound. I’ve done that before. He’s amazing. I still believe that he should’ve won The Four, but we won’t get into that.
