Never the one to rest on his laurels, C.Shreve the Professor is back with a new jam. “This Is Love” is a lively, boombap-heavy tune that is both raw and fan-friendly.

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @EsoXoSupreme Channels The Weeknd in Lines Visuals
I recently had the chance to check out Eso.Xo.Supreme’s “Lines” video from his Lonely Ghost project (SOTBMusic review here).
