I missed this one by a few weeks, but it’s always better late than never with dope music–and all its forms. Philly artist Shon Goner takes a Chance approach on this one and delivers a bouncy track that shines in the face of adversity (from haters to racist Trump supporters and everywhere in between), just […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Bun B Lets Us Know It’s Gametime in New Track
I’m late on this one. I’m sorry. But, better late than never. Bun B straight murdered this one on so many levels. So, instead of my usual analysis of the track, I’m just going to say that this one is dope, fire, flame emoji, what-the-hell-ever.

Joyner Lucas dropped his first official project a new mixtape that–according to him–isn’t his debut album, 508-507-2209, this week. I could do two things here. I could break down every track and dive into tracks and try to expunge shit that isn’t really there on some RapGenius fan annotation shit. I could also just say that the […]
