G-Side – Did You Miss Me.

“Did You Miss Me” is a natural follow up to “Hot Sex and Cold Wine” and boasts one of Yung Clova’s strongest appearances. The contrast of delicate piano and booming 808s just agrees with his whispered cadence. G-Side don’t need to venture too far left to make great music. Sphere:..


Method Man, Showering, Not Fronting.

It always felt to me like everybody was fronting and acting bigger than what they actually were. For me to be around them, it looked like I was doing the same thing. Let’s say you sitting in a room and you know you washed your ass today. Picture you sitting..
