The Couny continue to switch up their style on each track. From a flip of the Sister, Sister theme to a booming All That tribute, we can expect a different sound each time The Couny hops on a track. This time, we get a bass-heavy anthem track that further introduces the “hip-hop sitcom network’s” Kenan and Kel. The […]

Charlie and Sleezy channel their inner soul singer (read: more like Andre 3000 on “Hey Ya” than John Legend on “Ordinary People”) on this new 90s-embracing track. What you won’t do to these fellows is call their momma about some stupid shit. Those are simple rules to live by, yes? If not, then you must […]

I can’t really speak much on the origin of the collaboration between D-Gut and K1NG ELJAY; I’ll leave that to you to read on Joe Hova’s site. But what I do know is this: the nostalgia gods shone brightly on this one. From the feel-good energy, to the iPod-esque imagery, down to the sample used (Funkadelic’s […]

He took that track and turned it into this menacing flip where Fairplay bears his soul in some ways while keeping his edge in […]

There’s something about this one that I rock with, even though it’s not along the lines of stuff I’d typically post here. I believe that has something to do with the beat (produced by SLWJMZ, Hurricane Jamal, and 5PIECE) and the catchy factor of the hook. Well, that and it’s a pretty enjoyable turn-up track. […]
Read moreNew (To Me) SOTBMusic: @ReggiePr1me Invites Listeners to SWIM
DMV-based rapper Reggie Pr1me hit my inbox with this one recently. SWIM (or Songs Written In Maryland) is both a collection of DMV indie who’s who–with features from artists such as Super Nike Nando and Havana Seoul–and coming-of-age lyricism. The project is an homage of sorts to Pr1me’s upbrining in P.G. County, and the P.G. definitely […]
