YBR Skeedy – Knee Deep (Stream)
Late last year, Baltimore up-and-comer YBR Skeedy dropped Knee Deep, his only mixtape AFAIK, and it went under our radar. Listening to it now, Knee Deep is rapidly becoming a 2019 favorite. A solid, polished mixtape, with sparse, but powerful features (including YGG Tay), good beat selection, and catchy lyrics. Skeedy is one to watch.
