New SOTBMusic: WANG$AP Drop Potato Salad
I’ve had to run this one back a few times. Why? Simply put, it’s a great track with a lot of punchlines, metaphors, and bars. There are flame emojis throughout, as I used to say (every once in a blue moon), over the “Knock Knock” beat. In addition, these days, you can’t lose a random […]
