Recently, DMV native JDVBBS stopped by La-Ti-Do DC during a string of acoustic shows. Stripping down new tracks and old favorites, JDVBBS was able to showcase his vocals and songwriting in a way he’d not been able to in a long time. The hosts at La-Ti-Do DC captured the footage of this ode to the […]
Read moreNew Music: baby.daddi (@ye_ali, @tommygenesisxxx and @wesperiod) – baby.daddi EP
So, remember when I told you about T.E.A.O and his L.A. Nights beat EP (and how the track “City Nights” was slated to be used on the debut EP from baby.daddi)? Well, the baby.daddi EP finally dropped over the weekend. The T.E.A.O.-produced track, “All That I Want,” is, in a word, sexy. In three, it’s […]

Currently #36 on Soundcloud’s Dancehall charts, Genra’s “Be Mine (Gyal)” is smooth, doesn’t overstay its awesome, and it’s a sexy track I can definitely see (and hopefully experience…I’m just saying) someone whining to.

A few weeks after The Weeknd’s Kiss Land dropped in 2013, I gave it a mini-review on the site. Simply put, I liked it, but felt it was too much like his mixtapes while not being too much like his mixtapes. In other words, it was an okay album that had some misguided moments which kept […]
Read moreSpeed on the Beat Reviews: @Drake’s Views
“Is it Drake’s magnum opus?” “It it the mansplaining version of Lemonade?” “Is it really trash that people hyping up because it’s Drake?” “Is it just trash overall? Where’s Kendrick’s new album?” These are all questions I’ve seen over the past few days since Drake’s Views (f/k/a Views from the 6) dropped. And while I like […]
