I should probably start this off by saying I finally have a release date for Son of the Beast. It’s dropping October 24, 2018 (so in about one month). “Office Space” cover art As with any artist worth their weight in salt, I draw from personal experience when I create. From mental health awareness to dealings […]

Below is new music from IDK and Denzel Curry. It’s pretty dope vibes throughout. I mean, IDK and Denzel Curry both have bars and both exhibit that here on this menacing track.
