H/T to @JUKEBOXDC for posting the song. Shy Glizzy states on the new track “Very Rare” featuring Lightshow that “it’s very rare you see two niggas come from here [with their] names buzzin’ everywhere.” It’s true, possibly because of the crabs-in-a-barrel mentality spoken on by other DMV-raised artists, that it’s on some Halley’s Comet shit […]
Read morePaco Panama – "True Religion"
I like “True Religion,” for two reasons. First, Paco sounds very comfortable on the beat. He has a decent control over the beat, and his flow fits. He doesn’t sound too convoluted nor too basic. It’s a nice mix, which allows the song to succeed. Secondly, I like the feel of the track–it’s very anthem-like.

@Lightshow10thPL drops his newest track “Let Me Know.” The “Get Well Soon” alum Featuring Big Shaad, a drumroll-and-synth-heavy instrumental (I’m still a sucker for those beats), and real talk lines such as “niggas too old t’be hatin’,” the track stands out, to me, as a great introduction to Lightshow (if, you know, you missed him on […]
Read moreDugee F Buller – "Serenity"
@DugeeLFE, who based off his tweets and replies, is also a teacher and a multi-layered individual, released a new track over the “I’m So Appalled” instrumental today. Now, we all know what I think of remixes of “industry” songs. But, Dugee breathes new life into the now-three-year-old beat with a thought-provoking rant. Said rant is accompanied […]
