A little over five years ago, Big K.R.I.T. dropped his first official release, Live From The Underground. I loved the album because, well, I’m a K.R.I.T. fan and I feel he can do no real wrong (rapping or producing). However, I felt that the album was a bit of a retread of his superior mixtapes, […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @OfficialJaden is Searching for Diamonds in New Track
Say what you want, Jaden Smith is finding his own wave and sticking with it. Either through his rappity-rap bars or his XXXTentacion-esque sing-songy vibes, he’s proving that he’s diverse and evolving constantly. This is the case with “Diamonds V1,” a spacey track that features the artist floating over an instrumental speaking on his desires, […]

I think the best way to describe Plvto is as follows. Imagine if Big K.R.I.T. and Del the Funky Homosapien had a kid who was raised by later era OutKast with A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg as cousins.

I’m a few days late on this one, but it still goes in. I can’t say much on this one other than Gucci and Quavo kill their verses. I ran it back several times just to catch the wave (pun intended). It’s one of those tracks that works because of the chemistry displayed between all […]

I’ll keep it brief. This is not a drill, y’all. Lil B has finally released the much-hyped Black Ken project. Now, does it hold up to the hype people placed on it over the past several years? That’s where I come in. I’ll be straight with you: this is a three-listen review. I haven’t had […]
