Young Thug, musically, aged like a decent-to-halfway fine wine. Controversial yet brave words, like I’m Eric Andre, especially considering I originally thought that the dude wasn’t all that good as an artist. In fact, I called him an appropriation of Heavy Auto-Tune-era Lil’ Wayne. But when I thought that, I was on some close-minded “I […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Anderson .Paak and J. Cole Collab on Trippy
Anderson .Paak is dope. J. Cole is dope. I could leave it at that and just say “support dope music in all its forms” and watch as this post does numbers on name recognition alone.

Baltimore’s Don Neil returns to SOTBMusic with a very inspirational track. The aptly-titled “Save The Day” is kind of what you’d get if you had J.
