Three years ago, I reviewed Alessia Cara’s debut album, Know–It–All. In a few words, the album was a beautiful, albeit youthful, project. I said that Cara still had room to grow, but she made an amazing debut on the landscape of music. This is the case with many young artists, as even Nas still had […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @StaasiaDaniels Talks About a Light Switch Love in New Track
Staasia Daniels is back on SOTBMusic with an slowed-down track telling a lover she deserves better than a wishy-washy partner. It’s a different vibe than songs like “Handle It,” as the dancehall vibes shine through quite well. Dancing your problems away while still being contemplative about them, planning actions for the foolishness, that’s the major […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @EsoXoSupreme Is One of The Loveless on New Track
I’ve got some new heat from Eso.Xo.Supreme. The usually dark Eso goes even deeper into the trenches for “The Loveless,” where he collaborates with Bromar to give us something that’s very trance-inducing.

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: @JusXJustice and @iamlucascoly Hope They’ll Get Their Lover Back by Hitting Send
If you’ve followed SOTB for a while, you’ll know that whenever JusXJustice drops new tracks, I try to cover them and give them the buzz that they deserve. He’s a great artist and he’s humble as hell, too. So, double win. With that said, his latest track, “Send” featuring Lucas Coly (or is it Lucas […]
