I’ve always been the type to give credit where credit is due. Michael “Sto the Last” Stover (a/k/a Big Sto) is a brother who deserves the roses while he can smell them–even if some people think his advice is hating (trust me, it’s not). A fellow indie artist/writer, Sto and I have conversed via social […]

As with my interview with Drizzle Sez almost two years ago, I decided to turn the mic back on myself for a bit. Sure, I can write about these things.

Since NoFace, Rapper first appeared on SpeedontheBeat.com about two years ago with his Wintercoat EP, we’ve been trying to get an interview going. His mix of lyricism and storytelling drew me in and made me want to hear more from him, outside of music. Life sometimes got in the way, and it always kept being […]

I’ve known NishoSoul for the past couple of years, first as an artist from the DMV and then as someone I’d consider a homie and someone I can talk life with. Our friendship is one born from the love of dope music and anime–as many of my friendships are–and got stronger over the last year […]
