This one is a few months old, but it’s new to me (and probably to you). Cleveland artist Nuke Franklin gave us this tasty jam that is part inspiration rap, part “you can’t see me” rap, and all authentic. The track, which is from Nuke’s Nuketown EP from a few months back, sees all participants giving […]
Read moreNew To Me SOTBMusic: @DeezieBrown Fell In Love In A Two Seater (And All I Got Was This Dope Track)
Austin, Texas artist Deezie Brown has made some waves in the indie rap game, getting the first two sections of his JUDITH project featured on sites such as DJBooth. The third, “I Fell In Love In A Two Seater,” is backed by gospel-esque hits from producers SB95 and Vocirus. The heavy, soulful production allows for […]

It took me months, but I’m finally going to discuss, in brief, the EP put out by basketball stars-turned-singing duo The Gonzalez Twins, a/k/a IIGonz. Feel free to press pause until you actually read my “review,” but the whole experience is meant to be heard and read at the same time. It’s absurd how the […]

Such is the case with the new (to me) visuals from Cipherella’s “Moments” song. The Alabama-born, NYC-residing artist gives us a window view into her soul and her […]
Read moreNew (To Me) SOTBMusic: @iamKingLos Got The Glo in New Track
Wellp, this one is self-explanatory. Los gets on a theoretically “dumbed down” track and manages to elevate it past that level. The chorus is easily outshined by the verses, and those verses deliver some pretty sick punchlines–kind of like Bruce Leroy himself. Check it out below and remember to support dope music in all its […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @TylerTheCreator "Ain’t Got Time" for Foolishness in New Music
So, Tyler, The Creator hopped on an eclectic beat and spat some pretty dope lyrics. The focus on this one seems to be eccentricity mixed with trippy bars over some trippy production. I haven’t really listened to Tyler’s music in depth since before Cherry Bomb dropped. I gave CB a listen or two, but found it not […]
