I got this one in my inbox courtesy of Julie of FlowsForDays. Prez Harris is a college-aged rapper who has a plethora of bars to match the Paul Cabbin-produced beat. And he brings some friends in the forms of fellow Chicago natives Brittney Carter and Vandell Harris. This track, according to the PR, marks an […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Kelechief Introduces Us to His QLC Through "Flowers"
As someone who went through the quarter-life crisis (it’s documented well in my music), I’m here for anyone who’s expressing their own doubts and insecurities about that awkward phase through music.
