Virginia musician Gray Soul is celebrating his birthday with a Vesta-helmed remix of his instrumental “You.” It is a beautiful combination of the original’s sample and Vesta’s vocals. Vesta, as you already know, is one of my favorite vocalists out of the area. Therefore, this pleasant surprise has already been ran back a few times. […]
Read moreSOTBMusic: I’m Finally Talking the @iigonz_ EP
It took me months, but I’m finally going to discuss, in brief, the EP put out by basketball stars-turned-singing duo The Gonzalez Twins, a/k/a IIGonz. Feel free to press pause until you actually read my “review,” but the whole experience is meant to be heard and read at the same time. It’s absurd how the […]

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 […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @TheWeeknd Reminds Us of His Excellence in New Remix
I do miss the days that the remix included a full remix of the beat (there is one on A$AP’s verse, but it only lasts for a few bars). However, this new collaboration between The Weeknd, Young Thug, and A$AP Rocky works well, as everyone shines well. Thug’s been consistently improving his trade and that’s […]
