One of the standout tracks on Big K.R.I.T.’s latest album, “K.R.I.T. Here” was a declaration of independence of sorts. That said, its Winans-sampling instrumental is prime for freestyling and remixing. Today, Virginia artist Miah Travis dropped his version of the booming intro. Ferociously attacking the beat and not taking much time to breathe, Miah gives […]

D.C. hip-hop artist Trilla recently dropped her The F.U.N Tape project, which features her lyrics over mainstream instrumentals. On Monday, she dropped the video for “F.U.N.,” which is a remix of DaBaby’s “Suge.” Trilla has fun in the clip, which features her riding through a Target at an unspecified location (they originally were going to shoot […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @OfficialJaden Got His Dad to Scorch the Mic on the "Icon (Reggaeton Mix)"
“Icon” is a song that just sounds dope, regardless of what version you play. You take that vibe and add Will Smith on the track, and you’ve got a thing we didn’t know we needed, but I’m surely glad we got. Will surprised me, not because I didn’t think he could still spit. No, never […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @DaveEast and @VADO_MH Drop A "Nice For What" Remix
Well, damn. That’s all I can really say about this one. Combining gritty bars while still sticking to the idea of the original (praising and uplifting dope women) and staying true to oneself, Vado and Dave East, both of whom have been putting in work these past few months and years (in case you didn’t know), wrecked […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @ToniiiMoreaux Remixes Roll In Peace
Toniii recently came onto my radar with “Anything Goes.” With this remix of Kodak Black and XXXTentacion’s “Roll In Peace,” he’s seeming like he’s here to stay. He took the track and, in some ways, made it his own. Throwing in some pretty hard bars and a flow that rides the beat well, Toniii creates […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @phillmysoul Returns with a Remix for "Makeitwork"
New vibes from Phillmysoul. The sequel to his “Makeitwork” track, this remix features a whole new take on the original track, giving us an even-more remorseful Phill over some pretty melancholy production. We’re left wondering if he and his romantic partner will work or will they fall to the wayside. As Phill said, some stories […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @WillThaRapper Teams with @Gucci1017 for "Pull Up Hop Out" Remix
All I’ve got to say is that this is a dope moment for DC, the DMV and WillThaRapper himself. Getting Gucci to bless the “Pull Up Hop Out” remix is a moment that should–and most likely will–go down as the moment that the music scene outside of the DMV takes an even bigger look at […]
