You may’ve seen, in recent months, coverage on a young man by the name of Mike Melinoe. The Detroit native ended up on my desk with “Addict Venture,” a lyrically trippy track which detailed a drug trip-meets-bars adventure of sorts. From there, I was excited to listen to his Caveman project, which didn’t disappoint. But, […]
Read moreWIRTB Review: Lil’ Zane’s Young World: The Future
I said in a tweet that I would WIRTB the career of Lil’ Zane. But, then I thought of something. Do I really need to torture my ears and the minds of my readers? Am I really that cruel? No, I’m not. Plus, his second album isn’t on Spotify or anywhere, so fuck that shit. So, […]
Read moreNew Music: @Gucci1017 – Woptober
Gucci Mane’s back and cleaner than ever. Don’t misconstrue what I’m saying. He’s as dirty and vulgar as ever, as seen in the visuals for “Icy Lil Bitch” and its bountiful boobage.

In other words, I […]

Additionally, it’s a nice loosie that stands on its own, with some pretty dope bars from Tech and Logic also. I like how Tech […]
Read moreNew Music: @BigKRIT – "Free Agent"
Big K.R.I.T. stops off at Sway in the Morning to drop a new track. “Free Agent,” for me, feels like a mix between “Mt. Olympus” and “It’s Better This Way.” It’s catchy, but still goes in. Speaking on the issues K.R.I.T. had within being signed, “Free Agent” has an anthem feel that takes what we’ve […]
