True God has been busy since our last discussion on the site. This past weekend, he dropped his first “live album,” The Soul Revue Experience. A concept album of sorts, SRE finds True spitting love, heart, and soul over more live instrumentation (and singing). It’s not your typical True album, as there’s less of a focus […]
Read moreSOTBMusic: Libretto and BusCrates are Eternal Ridin’ on New Project
Libretto and Pittsburgh’s BusCrates recently collaborated for Eternal Ridin’, a project that’s distinct in its approach to discussing the struggle and oppression. It’s not doom and gloom, but it’s not celebratory of the predicaments, either. Instead, Libretto lays out his philosophies over Buscrates production about life, the game, and the new wave of so-called rappers. […]

Sinitus Tempo has decided to bless us with another EP, Moments. The “pay what you want” EP is, well, full of moments. Highs and lows. Vibes you could spit over and vibes where you should close your mouth, throw away your bars, and let the beat ride. Things have been busy for the DMV native, […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @PHZ_SICKS Links with @OGRonC for a Chopped Not Slopped Remix
Now this is news to me, but it makes perfect sense. PHZ-Sicks is a Texas-born artist making a name for himself out in the DMV. It makes sense because he has a bit of that Texas swagger, even though he’s residing in the DMV. Geographical discoveries aside, Sicks links up with OG Ron C for […]
