Von Pea- “Boombox” (@vonpea)
I’m a huge Tanya Morgan fan & this song is so dope. “Boombox” is the second single from Tanya Morganproducer/emcee Von Pea’s forthcoming debut solo effort,Pea’s Gotta Have It., a concept project themed around his high school days. While the production value and intelligent lyrics are still present, “Boombox” exudes more of a quiet, controlled energy [...]

R.O.D- “Can’t Stand You Remix” (@therodproject)
If you asked anyone living in the Bay Area what the hottest song was here– they’d respond R.O.D’s “Can’t Stand You.” This song has taken form and become a male anthem telling us women the things we do that they can’t stand notably the nagging. Now R.O.D makes this song more than just a male [...]

illroots: In hip-hop nowadays, it seems as though no age group is off limits.
