JBdaPilot – Hometown Girl/Don’t Worry



How have we missed out on JBdaPilot? VA rapper has dropped some crazy heat this year (see below.) “Hometown Girl” is a predictable but excellent, R&B-tinged solo track. “Don’t Worry” is an excellent follow up. For more information and some bonus tracks we missed with Skyzoo and Phil Ade, read more below.

JBdaPilot takes a leaf out of Destiny’s Child’s book, sampling their 1999 hit “Say My Name,” reworking it into his own 2016 version with “Hometown Girl.” The C. Justice and Lex Q-produced track finds the Virginia Beach, VA native narrating a proverbial love story of college romance. The record is inspired by his own personal experiences, with JBdaPilot detailing what-if’s about his girl’s whereabouts all the way to him making a cheating admission. The melodic fifty-fifty sing-rap provides the perfect medium for the college kid to dish on his relationship distresses.

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: SOJA – Live In Virginia

We might as well be honest: as (mainly) purveyors of Hip-Hop, we didn’t truly dive into the sounds of Virginia Reggae/Rock band SOJA until after we learned that Alfred The MC (aka Mambo Sauce’s Black Boo) had a dope collaboration with them (we also learned that Mambo Sauce had toured with the band year’s ago).

Having created music since the turn of the century, you can find their catalog (and other cool stuff) via their official website; below, we’ve provided last week’s concert album release SOJA: Live In Virginia, which features the aforementioned Alfred The MC collaboration ‘Promises And Pills’ (via iTunes/Apple Music).
