I’ve got to give a hat tip to The Demo Tape again for introducing me to this one. If you’re in the mood for some Baltimore-centric hip-hop, not too many DMV-centric sites put on for the city like they do. But, enough doting. Let’s get into the music. Baltimore’s Jenni Dimepeace reminds me of the […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Tate_kobang x @President_Davo – Hello
Tate Kobang has been on a roll recently. So, this collaboration with President Davo just makes sense. Both artists complement each other on this one, as Tate’s harsher flow meshes well with Davo’s Auto-Tune-assisted vocals. Topic-wise, the YG!

While selling out, in some ways, isn’t inherently bad, Baltimore’s Jay Wyse is […]
Read moreNew To Me SOTBMusic: @7ucv – Volume II
New to me music from Baltimore rapper 7uca (pronounced Loo-kah). I’m feeling the duality of the project, giving the aggressive side then the more laidback vibes on the “B-Side” of the collection. An artist who draws influence from Andre 3000, Kendrick, Drake-like artists, and seemingly a bit of Curren$y thrown in there, 7uca has a […]
