I just got this one in my inbox. KT has bars and a pretty solid command over several styles of hip-hop. Plus, as an added bonus, he’s from the DMV. As KT said when describing the album, “Ł7 is the ultimate plot twist [w]hen the nerdy kid aka ‘the square,’ or the ‘Ł7,’ IS the […]

If anyone understands the student-slash-rapper lifestyle, it’s your’s truly. And this is a pretty solid project from the college student/rapper in training/Spa City Ninja. He says that the project, while not College Dropout or Friday Night Lights, shows potential. And to be honest? He does show a lot of potential, especially with songs like “2 AM […]

While this one is a few days old, it still has enough flame emoji juice in it to ride for a couple more forevers and a day. Don’t understand what I just said? Neither do it. That’s what listening to “Kneelin’ On Needles” does to you. It makes you forget what you heard from [insert […]
