This remake of Belly’s “No Option” feels like some mix of the DMV flow, some Tupac, and some Bone Thugs (with regards to the harmony overlays on the bars). The California native, after years of military moves, developed a “kuntry” flow that embodies his Cali swag, his DMV demeanor, and years of being on the […]
Read moreNew Music: @FrankyHill__ – "Full"
I’ve never heard anything from Franky before this track. However, after the honesty and reality exhibited here? I’m sold that I’ve got to hear more.

Jay IDK…back with new music. Six words that make my ears happy. The Empty Bank drops in a couple weeks, but if this is where the album is going? It’s definitely going to be a solid follow-up to Subtrap and will have people saying #HXLY again this summer/fall. One thing that I’m noticing on this track is […]
