Take The Weeknd and mix him with Jeremih at his best and you have the best way to describe Sam Austins’ ANGST EP without spoiling too much. As I mentioned in a previous review of his stuff, Austins takes the “trapsoul” genre and puts it on its head for the world to see. That happens here […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @stvnlmnt Is Stoning The Competition to Death on Hit Factory Vol. 2
I’ll keep this one brief. Why? Well, sometimes it’s better to let the bars speak for themselves and just wash over you. Now, Steven Lamont (#lamonte) has been on an evolutionary pace since he first appeared on SOTB via a loosie and some Profound Assholes discussion on his shit. He’s always had bars and the […]

This is my untitled unmasted meets 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time in some ways. I mean, most of the stuff was recorded via a couple of high-end phone apps, ran through Soundtrap and MAZTR for mixing and whatnot, and pressed out for the world to see. No other hands have touched this, for better or […]

This QLC playlist/album/experience is the culmination of his evolution. As someone who’s gone through a quarter-life crisis, I can attest that this album speaks volumes to that sort of thing. […]

Shoutout to Taste Creators to introducing me to this track (if you haven’t checked their weekly playlists, do so now). So, this one is a few months old, but still hits hard as hell. The track takes the idea of Section 8 housing and the traps of those situations and applies it as a metaphor […]
