I took a leave of absence from the site most of this week because of Nipsey Hussle. While I wasn’t a superfan, his death shook me in a way that I haven’t felt since my own mother died. The marathon, however, continues so we’re back with new SOTBMusic that I may’ve missed over the past […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Android No. 23 Hits F-Zero on New Music
I feel weird that this is the first time that I’m talking about Android No. 23 on SOTBMusic, especially since he’s a Baltimore head who’s been making some moves the last few years. I’ve heard the name and a few songs here and there, but this is the first time I’ve written on him for […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: President Davo is Black & Proud with New Visuals

But, it does mark an end to Jay Wyse […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @CharmCity_Kid Tackles Mobb Deep to Deliver a Tribute to "Harm City"
I’m definitely feeling this old-school vibe from Baltimore outlet Squad La Rock. A take on a Mobb Deep track, the duo just flows so effortlessly. Add that onto a video that reminds me of trying to descramble MTV on my cousin’s stolen cable (hey, never said I was without my flaws) and you’ve got a […]
