After talking about it/hinting about its existence for a while, True and Apollo come back to their HS roots and drop a project that’s more diverse, but still lyrically sound. It’s quite possibly their beat work as a duo, if I’m being honest. The phrase “something for everyone” is a bit cliched. However, just because […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @bless1music Says There’s "No Looking Back" When Striving for Excellence
Chicago MC Bless 1 is back with a vengeance on “No Looking Back.” Over a simple melody, he speaks truths into existence and abrasively reenters the bars scene. It’s a thing of beauty, truth be told.

If so, enjoy it and support dope music music in all its forms. The bars are pretty sick and have Shaq (the elder Shaq) ripping the track with a pretty sick flow […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Stalley Searches for His Soul on New Track
Stalley went into his bag on this one, titled “Soul Searching,” and pulled out something akin to Curren$y mixed with some Cole. Calling out mumble rappers and those who’ve doubted him, Stalley continues with his “intelligent trunk music” wave. This one, slated to appear on Stalley’s New Wave project (due out next Friday) is solid. The […]
