Brockton, MA artist Cadet hit my inbox a few days ago with this one. As I’m just one man–and, as such, things sometimes slow when I’m not 100%–I’m just getting to it now. Apologies in advance. However, it’s something that pulls positive energy from the death of XXXTentacion and asks listeners to “think for [themselves].” […]

You may know Latrell James’ voice and bars, but never knew who he was. That’s where I was until I got to put two and two together and say “oh, snap. He’s the ‘Good Goes Around’ guy.” However, there’s more to Latrell than catchy jingles, as his discography showcases. The Boston native has been consistently […]

Yes, I know Nas dropped. I’ll probably get to that at some point, as I’m still kind of “meh” about these seven-track projects, dope or not. Yes, I know I said that Daytona was good, but my feelings still stand. However, Jay Rock also has a new project out and it’s heat. One of the pieces of […]

I can’t believe I almost missed this one from “BosMoreBurgh” artist B.Eveready. Astute SOTB readers know why I’m a bit bummed, as B.Eveready and I have a bit of a history dating back to These Beats of Mine. However, I suppose that it’s better late than never. “The Convo Different” has a real gutter feel […]

About a week ago, I dropped “For Her” (b/k/a “Se Roquel 2”) and the response was a bit “eh it’s aight.” Maybe I shouldn’t have dropped it around the same time as KOD. Maybe I should’ve thought a bit more about taking creative liberties with my girl’s name and whatnot. Heck, to return from a […]
