At this point, a DJ Khaled release will have a lot of things. You’ll get him shouting “WE DA BEST MUSIC!!!” several times. We’ll get “another one.” And we’ll get a somewhat bloated list of stars on one album. However bloated it may be, though, the album will still representative (mostly) of who’s hot in […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @esoxosupreme – Cut You Off (Prod. @DJPain1)
A few months back, I featured Eso.Xo.Supreme’s “Do It,” a somewhat playful cuffing anthem. Today, we’re given the exact opposite of that. In “Cut You Off,” Eso.Xo lays his heart on the line and decides that he needs to cut off his lover in order for both of them to flourish. It’s a moody track, […]
