New Music: @BaileyStraughn – "Campos"
Shoutout to Bailey Straughn. Bailey is a young man out of the DMV who got the idea to go lo-fi and prep a heavily DIY project. The lead single from this project, “Campos,” has a distinct feel to it. It’s old-school and lo-fi, but the bars are anything but. If you’re a fan of bars […]

A new Future featuring Drake dropped yesterday, and all I can think about is how it reminds me of some mix of “Honest” and “Grammys.” I enjoyed Drake switching the flow up on this one and he rides the beat pretty well. Future does Future things, so take that how you want to. Overall, the […]
