Now, you know that I love DITC. So, I was all set to do a retro review on Bobby Brown’s first album King of Stage. I mean, not as many fans are aware of it (unless you know the entire history of NE; and even the recent BET movie–which was pretty encompassing for a six-hour […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @itsmacntaj x @karmaknows1 – "Carnage"
Seattle native Macntaj recruits fellow artist Karma on this ethereally abrasive track (yes, I know those words usually don’t/shouldn’t go together). Produced by M3, the track is aggressive in its approach (the double-time flow helps with that). But, it’s so so cinematic and ethereal with its violin-heavy production laid in the background of synths and […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @NoFaceRapper – Wintercoat EP
A very introspective project over some dope instrumentation, VA artist NoFace, Rapper jumps onto the scene with his Wintercoat EP project. I’m a sucker for introspective, emotional bars (listen to most of my music, shameless plug, and you’ll see what I mean), so when this artist popped up on my “XYZ just followed you” notifications, I […]

I’m sure that folks will think this is a diss, mainly because of the cover. People will see the cover and say “oh damn Jarren Benton calling Drake a bitch” without even getting into the track. But, aside from that, let’s get into it. Why? Because that’s what I do. So, Jarren Benton tells us […]

I’m feeling this new track from Portland artist DANIELSEVENTWO. It’s pretty interesting. But, instead of my usual, I’ll let Anthony Rian, the guy who sent this one over (and has introduced me to artists such as TOPE and Corina Corina) tell you why you should check it. Portland’s DANIELSEVENTWO returns with some new music. This […]
