New SOTBMusic: @itsmacntaj Collabs with @Levitate_Music, @GunplayMMG, and @RazSimone for Lightwaves

This one is a mix of haunting instrumentation, EDM vibes and a heavy rap look into the grit of the world. Macntaj collaborates with producer LEViT∆TE, Gunplay and Raz Simone to drop a pretty tasty jam. This one is to appear on Macntaj and LEViT∆TE’s Omni project, for those wondering. If the project is anything like […]

New SOTBMusic: @MIKEMELINOE Leaves A Dope "VOICEMAIL" on New Track

Mike Melinoe returns to SOTBMusic with some new vibes. It’s a bit more “traditional” in some ways, specifically the way the verses are set up. However, he still manages to take a “traditional” rhyme scheme and crank out a dope track. Said track is mostly about what he wants/needs to do with a special someone […]

New SOTBMusic: @kelechief Drops A New QLC Track

Kelechi’s back with another QLC track, sampling Michael Kiwanuka’s “Black Man in a White World” and references the hex code for Black, #000000. The track is dope, but I’m needing more of it. It kept my head nodding and gave me further insight to Kelechi’s Blackness and what it means to be a Black man in […]

New SOTBMusic: @_ricardeaux Shows His "Range" in New Video

Richard Daniel didn’t go over-the-top when rolling out his Sedan project last year. He put it out and let the music speak for itself. That’s what makes it, for me, an endearing listen. But, on top of that, we now have some visuals to go along with the project. Shot at Secret Stages, the “Range” video […]

New SOTBMusic: @PARALLELEPHANTS and @DeezieBrown Feel Compersion in New Track

All I’ve got for this one is that “I’m here for it.” It’s like a mix of The Weeknd and dreamy instrumentation and Prince-y vibes and Childish Gambino on “Redbone” and–dammit, there’s just a lot of dopeness in this one. Plus, we even get a Deezie Brown verse on it to take things over the […]

New SOTBMusic: Chicago’s @_ANXT Says Ain’t Sh*t Changed, But The Lingo on New EP

Chicago’s ANXT has been carving out a pretty impressive resume of tracks. He returns to SOTBMusic with a four-track EP. Ain’t Shit Changed, But The Lingo is, sonically, a mix of sounds that creates both dance-ready bars and realness, all with the astuteness to rap on sounds that feel culturally different. Thus, we’re given a project […]
