I’ll keep this one short. Chaz French has always been about pushing the DMV region’s sound while still uniting the area around a common goal: dope music. His recent EP, Kill Vol. 1, accomplishes both in a relatively short amount of time. Featuring cameos from artists ranging from Big Flock and Innanet James, Chaz’s first project […]

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. […]
