Steven Lamont returns to the booth with a new freestyle. A song that doubles as tribute of sorts to a fallen friend and a track about getting elevated against the grain, it succeeds because Steven just floats effortlessly over the piano-heavy instrumental. It’s a great listen that doesn’t overstay its welcome and flashes off some […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @MuggsyMaloneDC Speaks on The Story of OJ in New Freestyle
I’ve got some new bars from DC’s Muggsy Malone. If you want punchlines and multis that don’t exist just to show off skill, here you go. Muggsy chose to spit over one of the hottest tracks from 4:44 and he ends up doing it justice. There is not a line on here that doesn’t have a […]
