I’ve got some new music from JusXJustice. This one, Black Light, picks up where The Crow 2 left off. There’s a lot of vulnerability while still displaying the bravado we’ve come to expect from Mr. “Hate To Be You.” While I personally prefer Crow 2 to this latest effort, it still offers a lot from the Phoenix […]
Read moreNew (To Me) SOTBMusic: @KonKyoshi Discusses Growing Old in Clocks Visuals
Anytime I see something Life is Strange-related (although time has kept me from finishing Before The Storm), I get excited. So when I saw that Baltimore’s Kon Kyoshi (the featured artist on 7uca’s “womens.” trac) had a video with some Life is Strange references (along with references to the Justin Timberlake film In Time), I had […]

Featuring fellow wordsmith Kwame Rose, Mitty gives us a piece of […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @ItsTOPE Writes About His New Project, STGC
Normally, I’d say that this project is amazing and it should be listened to by all. I’d talk about how songs like “How I Know” are certified bangers that still offer up some real advice to listeners. I’d say that tracks like “The Man” are funky and clean, but still manage to shed preconceived notions […]
