I’m a sucker for boombap, you know. That’s not to say that everything that sounds like Dilla or Nas I’m automatically on. You’ve still got to have some bars and substance and the like. However, I love to hear the vibes from these types of songs. That said, I couldn’t help but nod along and […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @DaveEast and @VADO_MH Drop A "Nice For What" Remix
Well, damn. That’s all I can really say about this one. Combining gritty bars while still sticking to the idea of the original (praising and uplifting dope women) and staying true to oneself, Vado and Dave East, both of whom have been putting in work these past few months and years (in case you didn’t know), wrecked […]

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @EvrythingOShauN Keeps the Darkness Going in "Winnebago" Visuals
To say EverythingOShauN’s “Winnebago” video is dark is an understatement. Pulling from Carrie (and possibly Kill Bill) visually–and Breaking Bad topically–the video continues the “Pylons” story.
