What’d happen if you took Bieber’s more mature tracks, added some Weeknd sensibilities in, and smoked the fuck outta it with a bit of Kendrick infused with Drake and Logic? You’d get HEYITSLUKA’s “Comfort Me.” It’s a track that’s mesmerizing in its approach. It’s smoky, but still bouncy enough to keep you into it if […]
Read moreNew (To Me) Music: @JulesIsDope – JulesisDope Mixtape Vol Wun
North Carolina-based artist JulesisDope is a mix between Kendrick and Backpack Drake with a bit of Chance for seasoning. That’s really the best way I can describe his sound and his new (to me) mixtape JulesIsDope Mixtape Vol Wun.

Over the weekend, Drake just decided to say “fuck it all” and get on OVO Sound Radio and drop some stuff people’d been unaware they needed. However, once it dropped, they knew it was some shit that they had to have. I’m going to focus on the two biggest tracks from this week’s edition. First […]
Read moreSpeed on the Beat Reviews: @Drake’s Views
“Is it Drake’s magnum opus?” “It it the mansplaining version of Lemonade?” “Is it really trash that people hyping up because it’s Drake?” “Is it just trash overall? Where’s Kendrick’s new album?” These are all questions I’ve seen over the past few days since Drake’s Views (f/k/a Views from the 6) dropped. And while I like […]
