Never the one to rest on his laurels, C.Shreve the Professor is back with a new jam. “This Is Love” is a lively, boombap-heavy tune that is both raw and fan-friendly. I’m loving the wordplay in this one, with one example being the line “I wonder where we’d be/without the marijuana.” We’re given raw wordplay […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @GarrisonElijaah Hopes You Make It Worthwhile
Garrison Elijaah’s evolution as an artist is like what you’d get if you mixed up IDK, parts of Chance and J. Cole: abrasive youthfulness with sageful thought processes over uplifting instrumentals–even when he gets down and dirty in the lyrical trenches.

However, here we are, about three weeks out from releasing the project and I haven’t felt this rejuvenated in a while. It […]
