6LACK drops a dope anti-Valentine’s track with “Cutting Ties.” Summing it up in one sentence, “Cutting Ties” is on some “I’m gonna leave you before you–or I, but most likely you–get too close because I’m really kind of not into the mushy shit” energy. Again, it’s perfect for the broken hearted and the heartbreakers out […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @AlessiaCara Covers @SZA’s Drew Barrymore
Alessia Cara returns to her YouTube cover roots (again) with this amazing cover of SZA’s “Drew Barrymore.” Anytime we get Alessia Cara dropping YouTube covers, it’s a great time to be alive. But, add in the bonus that it’s a SZA cover and we’re taken to another level of greatness. So, enough of me fanboying […]

What you won’t do to these fellows is call their momma about some stupid shit. Those are simple rules to live by, yes? If not, then you must […]

Produced by Gabe Niles (who you may remember from D.R.A.M.’s “Cha Cha”), the track is a thing of beauty. “Runtothemoon” is featured on the Faceinthecrowd EP, which can be checked out […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @esoxosupreme – Cut You Off (Prod. @DJPain1)
A few months back, I featured Eso.Xo.Supreme’s “Do It,” a somewhat playful cuffing anthem. Today, we’re given the exact opposite of that. In “Cut You Off,” Eso.Xo lays his heart on the line and decides that he needs to cut off his lover in order for both of them to flourish. It’s a moody track, […]
