New SOTBMusic: @QueWillOfficial Says Winning Issa Must
This SOTBMusic contribution comes from the ATL. Que Williams’ “Winning Issa Must” is a tasty jam that speaks on haters and perpetrators. The track, previously featured on BET Jams and on a few MTV series, has that radio-ready shine to it. But, it still feels organic enough that I rock with it. So, check it […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @TylerTheCreator "Ain’t Got Time" for Foolishness in New Music
So, Tyler, The Creator hopped on an eclectic beat and spat some pretty dope lyrics. The focus on this one seems to be eccentricity mixed with trippy bars over some trippy production.

Now, while I’ve talked a bit about the processes and the stories behind some of the tracks in passing, I’d like to take this time to really […]
Read moreNew (To Me) SOTBMusic: @ChancetheRapper and @YoungThug Introduce Us to Big B’s
This one isn’t either Thug’s or Chance’s best work, but it’s catchy enough. That’s got to be good for something, right? Jokes aside, I’m not a big fan of the production on it, as it sounds…well, it sounds very “Soundcloud-like.” That’s to say that it has moments of dopeness, but it also feels like everything […]
