“We getting internet money,” Kaiydo boasts on “Jumpin,” his newest track from the Colors & Sounds collection. I’m really feeling the uptick in energy on this one. He’s got my attention, definitely. Kaiydo plans to drop his debut mixtape, Kartoons, in 2017. Looking forward to it, if the tracks are half as interesting as this previous collection […]
Read moreNew To Me SOTBMusic: @WaldodaDon – "Woodland (Neighbors)"
A smooth track that allows for some real introspective bars, Waldo’s “Woodland (Neighbors)” is a solid track that got a couple replays from me recently. It kind of reminds me of a Curren$y track in its approach: laid back, flow-wise, but still attacking on the lyrics. Keep your eyes on him, as the song dictates.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve slept on R-Mean over the years. It’s not because he’s not dope or whatever. It’s more so that this new era has been bountiful with great music (yes, even among all of the “mumble bars”). I’ve heard his name and rocked with some tracks. But, I never […]

Now, those who know me know that I’m not just a hip-hop and R&B head. Some of my favorite songs fall into neither of those (somewhat archaic in definition) genres. Because of that, in 2017, I swear I’m going to post more genres outside of hip-hop and R&B. So, one of the first tracks that […]
Read moreNew (To Me) SOTBMusic: @OHYESMARIO – "Let Me Help You"
Quick question time, folks. What do you get when you mix “One Dance” with Mario’s “Let Me Love You?” You get Mario’s new track “Let Me Help You.” No, that’s not an insult towards the track. But, for me, it’s probably the best way to describe the afrobeat-meets-dancehall-influenced track. It’s painting Mario as a good […]
