File this one under unlikely collaboration that still goes in. Now, that could be because of the Starboy vibes I’m getting from this team-up between the Canadian electronic duo and the XO native. Either way, this is some high energy low-energy stuff that’s perfect for the ride out this weekend (if you’re in an area […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @CartierDad – Couture Sounds Vol. V
Baltimore producer Cartier Dad blessed me with this one a week or so ago for a preview. Once I started rocking with it, my head just kept going. Some of Baltimore and Washington’s brightest up-and-comers came together over ten tracks and blessed the mic with some pretty diverse sounds on this project, keeping true to […]
