Dreamy harps populate the latest track from Bay Area producer/DJ Slaptop. The instrumentation, which is somewhat freeform mixed with EDM elements, allows Baltimore native Tate Kobang to flow on the track. With lyrics in the vein of being in some form of love (even if it becomes somewhat physical), “What I Mean” seems primed to […]
Read moreNew (To Me) SOTBMusic: @Alex_Wiley x @ChancetheRapper x @itsthecons x @chuckisdope x @GLCTHEISM – Spaceship III
This is a slightly older track (by a few days). But, when you get two-thirds of the original “Spaceship” on a track with Chance and Chuck Inglish? I believe it’s safe to say Alex Wiley won the internet when this one dropped. Lyrically? It’s on point and evolves the concept of Kanye’s original College Dropout cut. […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Jay_IDK – Blame My Friends (The Gang)
New Jay IDK for your listening pleasure and whatnot. It’s crazy to think that this brother blew up as much as he has. Not because he didn’t have bars or anything (we discussed his plethora of bars in our interview back in 2014), but it’s still crazy to see him getting cosigns by bigger heads […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @AsherRoth – More or Less

JMSN gives us a bluesy anthem for the last-callers and those seeking their own happiness on “Drinkin’.” I’m in love with the vibes and the old-school energy here. Additionally, JMSN’s voice? It’s friggin’ amazing and sends a few chills through me on this one. So, let me stop talking and let you get to drinkin’ […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @RickyRozay x @nipseyhussle x @E40 x @slimthugga x @fatjoe – Buy Back The Block (Refinance)
Rozay gets bosses from all over for this one to build up and buy back the block (yes, I went there). It’s flames and anything with Slim and Joe at this point gets a play as they always deliver. Nipsey goes in and gives it to us raw. Plus, E40 gave a pretty dope verse […]
