NYC artist KuuL links with some Statik Selektah production to “Link With Legends.” The switch-up is what’ll get your attention, as the first two verses are great but are more like wistful dreaming of “what ifs.” But, the track is fire and has that real now-“old school” NYC feel to it. Dope production + dope lyrics […]

All I can say is that this one reminds me of Miguel. And since Miguel is one of my favorite artists, that’s a high form of praise. The post-sex anthem is smooth and bound to make some drawers drop soon after they’re put back on. So, check out THEY.’s “Silence” and be on the look […]

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Miguel x @DJPREMIER – "2 Lovin U"
Even though it’s an alternative version of Miguel’s “damned,” this newly-released DJ Premier collaboration has those perfect spring-to-summertime vibes for a song like this. Additionally, the playful production Premier employs here gives the track a weightlessness unseen in the original, making it less gritty and more “damn, girl. I just can’t help myself around you. If […]
