Whatever It Takes

Music, The Good Old Days

Chris Crack flipped an ill sample on his Just Gimme a Minute album cut “Don’t Subtweet Your Friends”—so ill that it made me go back and dig for the original, which turned out to be by R&B legend Anita Baker. Enjoy the fly shit.

You Don’t Know Me

Music

This is the first song of 2019 that I’m completely obsessed with. Read more about breakthrough artist Peter Manos, who apparently has a bit of a hit with his first song “In My Head,” in this Rolling Stone profile piece.

We’ll have to see if his new one “You Don’t Know Me” catches on, too—though it’s a bit more laid-back and chill than “In My Head.” Regardless, this is my kinda fire, so flame on folks.

Bet I Live

One of my favorite rap trios out—Willie The Kid, Eto and producer V Don—just dropped a new EP titled Heather Grey. “Bet I Live” is an early favorite, but I advise you rap fans out there to check the project out in its entirety HERE.

You Know What

Late Pass, Music, The Good Old Days

My man Bahr was pumpin’ this shit on his IG story the other day, and I was like, “Yo, what is this?!?!” Turns out it’s a Black Rob album cut I slept on from his 2005 release The Black Rob Report. Better late than never, right? SMH this is heat.
