Dugee F. Buller has returned with a four-track EP, Pimps, Drug Lords, Cult Leaders, and War Criminals. The project features Buller dropping knowledge like only he can, in a way that’s both alert and disarming. The track “Dope Man” starts off like a mid-90s Southern dedication to the dealer, but then takes a turn that […]
Read moreSOTBMusic: Logic Doesn’t Write for Me Anymore
I was in the middle of publishing my thoughts on Logic’s newest album when I came across Yoh Phillips’ 1 Listen Review of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. The conclusion stated that the album was, essentially, what happens when an artist becomes a caricature of themselves. Logic, in all his success and glory, had become […]

Charlie From The Couny celebrates a name change with a new track. The former Charlie Too Much goes in over another Six08 production (these two are a nice duo, if I do say so myself). It seems as a bit of a reset of everything we’ve come to know from The Couny, as Charlie attacks […]

I came across DMV artist Krystle Maria through a random dive into my DMs. I’d seen glimpses of her stuff here and there on, like, Elevator. However, I’d never featured her on SOTB (my bad). A few days ago, she submitted the visuals to her latest track, “Melanin,” and I happened to see them in […]

The often-harmonious Firehouse decided to mess around and give us about two minutes of […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Charlie Too Much is a "Sucker for a Sag"
Charlie Too Much delves into the signs of love (making?) on his newest release, “Sucker for a Sag,” produced by Six08. While I’m more partial to an Aquarius (I’m about to marry one), I still love this track. I’m a huge fan of the flow switch on this one, as we’re given a more punchy […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Rahiem Supreme Says "Don’t Mute DC" in New Protest Song
Gentrification sucks. I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to say it. Don’t get me wrong, though. I feel anyone should be allowed to move anywhere. That’s their God-given right. With that in mind, don’t come in trying to change innocuous things just because they’re different or seem like a nuisance (to you). I wouldn’t […]
