You may remember The Renaissance from our SOTBMusic interview a while back. Well, he’s back with some dope vibes to a classic beat. Spitting his piece over Dilla’s “FLOWERS” instrumental, we’re given some pretty dope lines as par the course. We’re also given, more importantly, some tips on how to make it as both indie […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @LeeSahir and @YeahYTK Take Us to the Eclipse in New Track
I’ve got some tasty lo-fi jams from Lee Sahir and Baltimore’s YTK. I’m, as mentioned, always a sucker for well-done lo-fi hip-hop. This NK-produced track falls into that category with exceptional wordplay, a mastery of the beat, and an overall dope vibe over laid-back instrumentation. YTK steals the show, though Lee definitely holds his own […]

I’m a little late but this one is flames all the way through. It’s an epic mix of a tribute to Bobby Heenan with gritty NYC rap. I’m here for it, and it feels like Christmas morning. Why? Well, any time you hear Westside and Conway on a track, it’s magical. That’s going back to […]

Coming to us from the Bay Area by way of Delaware, JM Vercetti’s Family Game Night is, just as the cover suggests, a look into the life and upbringing of the indie artist. Bringing a mix between East and West Coast sensibilities, Vercetti gives listeners danceable tracks while still imparting knowledge and lyrical tracks that never […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Dashcito Shows Us He’s Slick in New Visuals
This one reminds me of what’d happen if you mixed Too $hort with Pimp C and raised the result in Baltimore. It’s smooth and “smoke sumn”-ready, but still imparts some young man knowledge. I’m a big fan of the DIY visuals, as they’re directed by himself and Christopher “Solo” Smith. The single’s visuals follow Dashcito […]
