Sabi G returns with a short EP that’s a bit experimental, a bit straight bars, and distinctly his own. He mentioned to me that he dropped this one after a bit of a weird situation because people suggested he do so. Well, I’m glad he did, since this keeps the momentum he’s gained on other […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @NatureBoiMusic Proclaims He’s The New Old Kanye
Nature Boi plays no games on this one, a play of sorts on Kanye West’s “I Love Kanye.” Spitting some Kanye-esque bars over soulful production, Nature sets the pace of the song. He, like Kanye, is a self-produced artist who’s hungry for the top spot and hungry for acclaim. Then, the beat switches up and […]

Maryland’s Marlow dropped FAITH X VICES last year. It sucks that it passed under my radar, mainly because the past few years have been huge for the DMV, independent and otherwise.

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 […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Mama Young’s Son Cover Reveal and "Withered Leaves"
I never intended for Mama Young’s Son to become a full-fledged project. Hell, I never intended to pick up any sort of recording apparatus and do that sort of thing again at all. However, here we are, about three weeks out from releasing the project and I haven’t felt this rejuvenated in a while. It […]
