VA’s PHZ-Sicks drops another track leading up to his Good Day, Greater Tomorrow album. The second PHZ-Sicks Day drop–the first being “Riot in My Memory”–features him just dropping bars for the sake of dropping bars to let people know he can rap (and rap well). It’s a different side of PHZ-Sicks if you just heard “Riot […]
Read moreSOTBMusic: An Open Letter To Hip-Hop from @FlowsForDays_
SpeedontheBeat.com is all about presenting real feelings about “real music.” That, and letting people see people, not personas. With that said, I recently got a text from Julie Stevens, a fellow writer who’s featured on SOTB a few times before, that said “I’ve got a piece for you.” Little did I know that this piece […]

However, the brother is steeped in Blackness, does do good in the community, and has bars. For that, even with our ideological differences, I still rock with him to […]

So, good news/bad news time. The good news is that I’ll probably have more time to devote to SpeedontheBeat.com in the coming weeks than I’ve had over the past few years. The bad news is that this free time comes at a compromise, as I was let go from my job a few days back. […]
