This is my untitled unmasted meets 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time in some ways. I mean, most of the stuff was recorded via a couple of high-end phone apps, ran through Soundtrap and MAZTR for mixing and whatnot, and pressed out for the world to see. No other hands have touched this, for better or […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @LeeSahir and @YeahYTK Take Us to the Eclipse in New Track
I’ve got some tasty lo-fi jams from Lee Sahir and Baltimore’s YTK. I’m, as mentioned, always a sucker for well-done lo-fi hip-hop.

Read moreNew (To Me) Music: @DskillzHarris x @DevonsMusic – "Can I Kick It?"
The loss of hip-hop legend Phife Dawg, in a year of many legendary losses, still stings for me. I mean, I grew up listening to Tribe and (even though it’s not as pronounced as some of my influences) I’ve been influence by Phife’s flow and aura. So, whenever I hear a tribute to the man, […]
