I’ll just say this and let the music speak. Jaden Smith impressed the fuck out of me with this one. He wasn’t crazy pretentious or random as fuck. He just rapped his ass off and dropped some gems for your mental. It’s like a mix of Nas, Cam’ron and Soundcloud rap, audio-wise. That sounds weird […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @DKakaWayneWatts Aims to Unite with Nowadays Album
A more-mature Wayne Watts (even though he’ll always be DK [aka Wayne Watts] to me; Terpness and all that) returns to SOTBMusic with his newest project.

I’m a bit late on catching up on this one, and for that I apologize. P. Cruz has been both a dope music provider and a supporter of the SOTB vibes, so I owe him the review of his new EP, Letter to Miss Ives. If you’re looking for simple bars and concepts, look elsewhere. […]
