thisismarlow returns to SOTBMusic with “Keep The Same Energy.” The track reminds me a bit of J. Cole’s KOD in that it’s lyrical, but still has a menacing turn-up vibe about it. The accompanying video features that same energy (pun intended) and showcases Marlow as a criminal mastermind who doesn’t fold to the foolishness he’s surrounded […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: KuntryKali’s "Nah Nah"
KuntryKali hit my line about this one a while back. Sorry that I’m just getting to it. However, the Gold Dollar project feels a lot like a Danny Brown-like project mixed with some A$AP Ferg with some leftover DMV “I’m gonna make it” vibes mixed in for good measure. It’s a cool project that showcases […]

I’ve got to give a huge shoutout to Julie Stevens of FlowsForDays.com for hitting my inbox with this one. If you’re looking for underrated Midwest artists, she definitely has her ear to the pavement. This project is no different. Described as “Chicago’s finest wordsmith,” D2X‘s Enjoy Life EP does not disappoint. It starts out hard, with […]

You’re probably expecting me to, at some point, talk about Iggy Azalea’s new music. All I’ll say is that it’s butt-friendly. She has a booty, and she wants to world to know. Go her for being all body-positive and whatnot. Now that we’ve got that out the way, J. Cole freestyled over the “Oochie Wally” […]

To borrow Travis Scott’s ad-lib, “it’s lit!” Now, you may know that I’m not the biggest Travis Scott fan, probably dating back to his kind of weak BET Cypher years ago (that he, later, apologized for). However, since then, he’s evolved sonically and musically to become one of those artists that, even if you’re not […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Dolla$ignDunn Speaks Sign Language in New EP
Dolla$ignDunn comes with something that feels like Comeback Season meets Dreams and Nightmares with a great deal of Cam’Ron mixed in for good measure. There’s something backpacky about the bars, but there’s grit attached as well within the six-track EP. That could be because of the grimy beats and the way D$D delivers his bars. […]
