Mike Melinoe returns with some BARS on this one. He gets on an intergalactic flow on an intergalactic beat. Only gripe I have is that it’s just one verse. As soon as the energy reaches a fever pitch, it’s over. I get why (I think), but “Get Out” is definitely a song that could’ve benefited […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @JIDsv x @EarthGang – D/Vision
Say what you will about J. Cole, there’s no denying that Cole can produce his ass off and can find dope artists like few others in the game these days. J.I.D. and Earth Gang get on a Cole track that feels pretty grimy boombap with late-2010s sensibilities and it’s a beautiful thing. There’s not much […]
Read moreWIRTB Review: @LupeFiasco – Lasers
As a Lupe fan, I feel that, for the most part, he can do no wrong musically. Just about everyone of his songs has a message (even the super poppy ones and the turn-up ones, as seen on DROGAS Light). On top of that, he’s managed to become and remain popular without doing a complete […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @slaptopofficial x @Tate_Kobang – "What I Mean"
Dreamy harps populate the latest track from Bay Area producer/DJ Slaptop. The instrumentation, which is somewhat freeform mixed with EDM elements, allows Baltimore native Tate Kobang to flow on the track. With lyrics in the vein of being in some form of love (even if it becomes somewhat physical), “What I Mean” seems primed to […]
Read moreNew (To Me) SOTBMusic: @Alex_Wiley x @ChancetheRapper x @itsthecons x @chuckisdope x @GLCTHEISM – Spaceship III
This is a slightly older track (by a few days). But, when you get two-thirds of the original “Spaceship” on a track with Chance and Chuck Inglish? I believe it’s safe to say Alex Wiley won the internet when this one dropped. Lyrically? It’s on point and evolves the concept of Kanye’s original College Dropout cut. […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Jay_IDK – Blame My Friends (The Gang)
New Jay IDK for your listening pleasure and whatnot. It’s crazy to think that this brother blew up as much as he has. Not because he didn’t have bars or anything (we discussed his plethora of bars in our interview back in 2014), but it’s still crazy to see him getting cosigns by bigger heads […]
