Described as a “bass-heavy banger to fit the gloomy weather change,” Jersey’s Dolla$ignDunn’s “On This Side” has everything you could ask for from an introductory track to an artist (this one serves as my introduction to Dunn, in case you haven’t figured it out already). It’s boisterous, but still has the components needed to back […]

I’ll keep this one brief. Why? Well, sometimes it’s better to let the bars speak for themselves and just wash over you.

The best way to describe Sabi G is if you mixed Lupe Fiasco in with some Lil Uzi Vert. There’s a lot of lyricism, but there’re a lot of 2017 sensibilities (drugs, sex, love, trust issues and all that). Overall, I got introduced to Sabi through Twitter and I’m glad he sent this one over. […]
