DRE! returns to SOTBMusic with an eight-track EP that encapsulates his trip to L.A. perfectly. There are a ton of chill vibes and lighthearted situations talked through this EP. In an email DRE! sent to me, he also mentioned that the album discusses some funny situations with the opposite sex. Be on the lookout for […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @EvrythingOShauN Drives Through the Pylons in New, Dark Video
I’ll keep this one short-ish, not because the video isn’t dope. More so, I’m in the middle of a busy job hunt that leaves me with not as much SOTB time as I’d like. That’s going to change, though.

It’s a different side of PHZ-Sicks if you just heard “Riot […]

With that said, I recently got a text from Julie Stevens, a fellow writer who’s featured on SOTB a few times before, that said “I’ve got a piece for you.” Little did I know that this piece […]
