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.

Eccentric-ass B-More rapper Shordie Shordie has given his infectious “Betchua (Bitchuary)” track off of his latest tape Captain Hook the visual treatment. Watch the clip up above via The FADER.
The SIX 7 ENT-directed video sees Shordie and a gang full of homies commanding a street corner and dancing gleefully to the track’s streamy synth-string melody.

Kingpen Slim Ft. Lambo Anlo – Every Season Freestyle
I’m going to let the fact that Kingpin Slim basically said he wouldn’t come over the bridge to Virginia for any reason slide, and acknowledge that I fuck with this new freestyle featuring long-time collaborator Lambo. I also acknowledge that Virginia is very much entrenched in many levels of institutional racism, but I don’t think that means that you shouldn’t fuck with people out here, who have to live in that sytem everyday. That’s besides the point of this post though, enjoy this freestyle, Kingpen always comes with the flames.
