Dugee F. Buller recently collected the tracks he did with Shokus Apollo and True God over the past year or so and dropped them as a whole project. It’s LFE meets DAR and it’s a thing of beauty. Yes, you may’ve heard some of the tracks before. However, hearing them again in this collection adds […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Shwaze Collins Takes Us to "Paradise" on Just Because EP
Baltimore’s Shwaze Collins recently dropped a three-track EP, Just Because. I loved the fact that the project literally exists just because he was like “yo, lemme drop some new music real quick.” While the project is mostly dope with few off-beat moments, I want to focus on the first track, “Paradise.” Between the switching beat, […]

My homie Lex Rush really did it. Like, she really did the “Freaky Friday” of white male privilege. And it’s amazeballs. It’s both comical and thought-provoking. Plus, the cover art is ri-dick-ulous. Bad puns aside, she brings up some great points about men (especially some of those who are “white” in skin tone) and gender […]
