Corina Corina’s latest album, Hangover Music, was funded completely by bar tips. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that the project delves heavily into the singer’s relationship with alcohol. Every song isn’t directly related to booze, but the narrative structure of the project takes us through four alcohol-centered times and discusses love, life, depression, and […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @NishoSoul Is Back with "Hold You Down"
The “I Got You, Homieloverfriend” track is a part of hip-hop history as much as boombap and mob ties (no, not those “Mob Ties”). It’s a critical part of any artist who’s worth their weight in salt’s repertoire. Regardless your affiliation or orientation or what have you, we all need love and we all want to […]

Keeping up with the gritty bars hears from Droog and Conway, I got this one in my inbox from Jersey’s own Deal The Villain.

Read moreNew (To Me) SOTBMusic: @cloudygallo x @SamsonSzakacsy – Medicinal
H/T to Benny Universe for sending this my way. “Medicinal” is a track about love, lust, and its drug-like effect. This dreamy wave of a track is amazing. The way that Gallo and Samson complement each other is beautiful, especially over the sparsely-produced track. Gallo’s unique voice definitely shines through on this one. So, as […]
