A few months ago, Mike Melinoe dropped the track “Her Name.” A review of the track can be found here, so I’m not rehashing or taking away from his streams. Recently, he dropped the visuals to the song, which are equally trippy and interesting. If you haven’t heard of Mike yet, this seems like as […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Charlie Too Much Heads "Back, Too The Immaculate" with New Track
So, my boy Charlie Too Much (of The Couny) hit me up saying that he was releasing new music. As a fan, and as a friend, I was like “aight, bet. Let’s see what you’re hitting on.” What I got was something that feels like Cadillactica K.R.I.T. mixed with that distinct Couny flow. In other […]

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Latenit3 Bears His "Soul" on New Track
I’m not a big Trippie Redd fan. That’s why I was a bit skeptical of New Jersey-born, Virginia-raised Latenit3 and his track “Soul,” as its press release described it as Trippie-influenced. However, I’m always about expanding my musical horizons, so I gave it a listen. All in all, I liked it. It was moody enough […]
