I’m kind of mad at myself that I’m just getting to this one. However, that’s a testament to the fact that 2017 has had a lot of dope music. However, DMV artist Ezko offers up some tasty and emotionally-invested boombap hip-hop on Buy My$elf. The project is an album that deals with the rapper’s disillusionment with […]

Jay Verze makes another SOTBMusic post with this one. Over a LexiBeats production, Jay provides a plethora of reasons why he’s a real one versus an army of fakes. Rapping in the chorus that “these niggas ain’t about what they sayin’ in their raps/it’s cool, everybody got a job,” Jay chooses to distinguish himself from […]

Anyone who can take an All That sample and flip it into an anthem, I’m a fan of.

DMV’s Charlie Too Much and Sleezy Bundles return to SOTBMusic with their latest release, “Uncle Phil.” The 90s are strong in this one, even down to the VHS tracking on the promo video.

The project features the baritone-ranged rapper speaking on a plethora of topics, mostly revolving around his own personal growth.

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @STEALFSOULJA – Introvert
New dark-ass music from Stealf Soulja. And it goes in. His husky baritone voice over this dark beat? I just had the “bruh” face on the whole time like “damn son.” The bars are also present, as they always are from the DMV native. So, enough of me gushing about how dope the track is. […]
