New SOTBMusic: @Jay_Wyse is Feeling Good on New Cut
Jay Wyse continues to make listeners choose wysely through this jam in which he interpolates Biggie. While I wish he would’ve rapped over the breakdown of this chill beat, the track is a dope late summertime anthem. I mean, who doesn’t want to ride through their city feeling good? Hypothetical questions aside, check this one […]

Baltimore’s Shwaze Collins released his Silver Surfer project yesterday, and it is one that is a pretty solid release. Executive produced by Jayno Beatz–who also provides the instrumentals–Surfer is a project that touches all facets of who Shwaze is.

That’s the focus of this color-shifting visual from ShauN’s upcoming Almost Everything project. The track, which was recently featured on Noisey, showcases ShauN switching his flows to […]

I’m always a fan of abstract visuals. When you add those to great lyrics that flow effortlessly between knowledge dropping and hard-hitting bars, you’ve got a winner. Such is the case with the new (to me) visuals from Cipherella’s “Moments” song. The Alabama-born, NYC-residing artist gives us a window view into her soul and her […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @BEveready Is A Hssla in New Visuals
Boston-born, Baltimore-residing B.Eveready and I have an interesting past. I first came in contact with B. because he wanted to use one of the beats from my 2015 These Beats of Mine “freebie” beat tape. Fast forward about two years (and a few takes on the beat) and we’ve got the visuals for his newest track […]
