New to me music from Lafayette, LA native Yung Juko. The song’s feel and energy reminds me a lot of August Alsina’s come-up. He’s got a distinct delivery to his verses and his embracing of the cards he was dealt is inspirational. Juko was born with spina bifida, but is still out here telling his story […]

Remember Raven’s “Work Drink Fuck Sleep” from 2013? This track feels like a more-mature, more-polished version of that song. Can’t believe I missed this one, especially with this fire beat.

Yep, it’s about that time for someone (anyone, really) to talk about the namesake of this here site’s musical “career.” Spawned from a combination of a mental breakdown and a desire to spit “dat hot fiyahhhh” once more, meek producer Mister Speed on the Beat decided to get back into the “booth,” create some no-fidelity […]
