Yes, I know Nas dropped. I’ll probably get to that at some point, as I’m still kind of “meh” about these seven-track projects, dope or not. Yes, I know I said that Daytona was good, but my feelings still stand. However, Jay Rock also has a new project out and it’s heat. One of the pieces of […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @BlackThought and @9thWonder Go Toe-to-Toe on New Track
Black Thought always brings bars for battle. For instance, he incinerated his mic in a 10-minute freestyle a few months back. Google it if you haven’t heard it yet (if you haven’t, for shame). Now, add that in with beautiful 9th Wonder production. The combination gives you’re going to get something amazing. “9th Vs. Thought” […]

While some of you are going cuckoo over ye, I’m over here listening to this new track from Lecrae and Zaytoven. It’s weird, because I remember I was in a Twitter argument with Lecrae over religion and the like. However, I never said that the brother couldn’t make a dope song with spiritual overtones. He’s, […]

TwonDon has another one on his hands. Delving into a dark space, American views, a sense of rebirth, and family matters (no Urkels, though), TwonDon gives what may be his realest project yet. That’s, obviously, not to say that he’s never been real before. However, there’s something special about this one–even in its brevity–that makes […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @FreshfromDE and @MickeyChristmas are Indigo Children on New Track
This is the first I’ve heard FreshfromDE, a Delaware artist who recently popped up on my radar. If he keeps this same trap-meets-conscious energy, I’m here for it. Collaborating with Boston’s Michael Christmas, “Indigo Children” takes the vibes you’d get from a Lupe or a Kendrick and adds a melodic element to it while still […]
