Nature Boi plays no games on this one, a play of sorts on Kanye West’s “I Love Kanye.” Spitting some Kanye-esque bars over soulful production, Nature sets the pace of the song. He, like Kanye, is a self-produced artist who’s hungry for the top spot and hungry for acclaim. Then, the beat switches up and […]
Read moreSOTBMusic Retrospective: Watch The Throne
I wanted to do a retrospective on the 2011 JAY Z/Kanye West collaborative album Watch The Throne with an embed of the actual album. However, due to TIDAL having exclusive rights to streaming the album and my hesitancy to post just YouTube links of the songs, I won’t be able to do that. I will, however, […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Drake – More Life
Yesterday, Aubrey Drake Graham released a 22-track “playlist” sort of album. That album, More Life, more than lives up to its name. See…I’m a Drake fan, so my opinion can be viewed as biased.

Read moreNew Music: @StatikSelekt x @DJGREENLANTERN – "I Hate (the New) Kanye"
Ok, so speaking of “I Love Kanye” remixes, this one dropped yesterday and it’s friggin’ flames. Statik Selektah (first) and DJ Green Lantern (second) straight up destroy this track (in a good way), adding in chops, soul samples, heavy drums, and even a revisit to Lenny Williams’ “I Love You” (which was used as the […]
