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 […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @NatureBoiMusic Takes Us on a SPRNTRL High in New Visuals
One of the standout tracks from Nature’s SPRNTRL project from 2016 finally gets visuals and they do not disappoint. They’re just as trippy colorwise and the like as you’d expect. However, it’s not all turning up. For me, I’m seeing this as a discussion about Nature’s desire to leave the bullshit of the mortal world behind […]

However, as things evolved, I stopped being all about Speed and became rejuvenated with a new purpose for the site: putting up and putting […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @NatureBoiMusic – Nature Robinson
I’m late on this one. Sorry Nature. But, this goes in for so many reasons. The main reason is that it gives zero fucks. And that freedom gives us some anthem-worthy music that still has lyrically dope moments. Featuring DMV brothers Brain Rapp, Ezko, folks like Charlie Too Much (I see you bruhman) and others, […]
