Let me rant for a bit. Now, let me preface this rant by saying I grew up when the Orioles sucked. I mean, “worse than even this year” sucked. I was born during the tail end of the 1988 season, I had my first kiss when Mike Hargrove was the manager, and I lost my […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @D2X__ Links Up with @ThaKidDJL For "Calling"
I got this one over the weekend from D2X. The Chicago native lets his soul spill over the DJ L-produced beat, speaking on the violence in his city, the desire to make a change, and his calling to music. It’s a soulful track that features news reports from Chicago to show that the city is […]

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @TWONDONUC Been Dead on New EP
TwonDon has another one on his hands. Delving into a dark space, American views, a sense of rebirth, and family matters (no Urkels, though), TwonDon gives what may be his realest project yet. That’s, obviously, not to say that he’s never been real before. However, there’s something special about this one–even in its brevity–that makes […]
