Directed by VLKvisuals. Produced by BRENTRAMBO. I’ll start by saying this: I love this song. Between the video (which features a cig smoking T-Rex), the insanely catchy hook and the BRENTRAMBO beat — this record is a hit. These are my thoughts and opinions, so respect them as such.

I’m a staunch supporter of the “Hustle Muzik” series, and I think the video for part three definitely takes it over the top. It’s very well done. I’m…
If you’ve been paying attention to either Boi Jeanius or Mic Terror’s timeline over the past few months, you’ve noticed a freestyle series they’ve been doing called #FuckEmUpFridays, where they casually emcee and DJ while busting ass over some of your favorite instrumentals. Rhyming, cutting — you know, real hip-hop shit. Light work. Today, they’ve…
It’s been a long time coming, and yesterday it came rather unexpectedly. Yes, Sir The Baptist’s official Atlantic Records debut, Saint or Sinner, is here. This album drops on the heels of the announcement that he’s dating cultural legend Brandy, and a recent cosign from Stevie Wonder. Major things are happening for Sir right now,…
