Jaden Smith has been a happy surprise with the SYRE album for me. Now, when you take the most pop-friendly track from the project and add Nicky Jam to the energy? You’re given a few eargasms, but mostly a new twist on the track. Nicky Jam has been having a year, so this is another cherry […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @asvprocky Says Fukk Sleep in New Track
I’ve heard people call A$AP Rocky’s new album the greatest thing since sliced coke. I wouldn’t say that, but it is solid and showcases him at his most-experimental.

Here, instead of Ikey throwing bar after bar to showcase his rap skills, he eats the track in a different way. […]

What often distinguishes SOTBMusic from other music reviewers and the like is that I don’t really mind if a song is a few months old; as long as it bangs and makes me feel something, age ain’t nothing but a number, song-wise. I say that because Norfolk’s own Official Bill hit me with a track, […]
