I first came into contact with Alpha x Scorcese’s Scorcese Shells on his 2 Man Power Trip project, one of a few wrestling-centric releases that arrived over the past few years. There, I saw a lot of potential for greatness even though the bars presented were definitely not slouch-worthy at all. Fast forward several years and […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @RoiLOrange Drops "EXIT" Visuals
A few months ago, I spoke about Roi Lorange’s “EXIT” as being a trippy Auto-Tune rap ride that was incredibly layered and drove me into the song–even as someone who’s not a huge fan of the “Auto-Tune rap” that’s been coming out the past few years.

I found this one while perusing through Soundcloud. See, it’s not just XXXTentacion clones, guys! All (bad) jokes aside, The Freely Spoken brought me in with the jazzy boombap.

This […]

Long Beach artist Mikey Promethxan had this one dropped off in my inbox a few days back. I was expecting something drug-heavy and celebratory of said drug-heaviness, considering the brother’s name seems to be a combination of Xanax and promethazine. I should’ve listened to my mama on this one, because assuming shit just makes an […]
