Last week, I got an email from an artist originally out of Baltimore, D.King, asking me to check his stuff out. The former Jay-Z protege has taken what Hova taught him and has ran with it, racking up looks from Sway and others. As with most SpeedontheBeat.com interviews, I jumped at the opportunity to link […]
Read moreAn Interview with @AWKWORDRap
Throughout the years and interviews on SpeedontheBeat.com, it’s somewhat obvious that I tend to highlight artists who are going about their paths differently than your typical artist.
