The Notorious B.I.G. has been gone for almost 20 years at this point, and while his legacy is strong, efforts to extend that legacy posthumously fell flat in many ways. Many of the tracks only contained small snippets of his rapping, and given they were leftovers, probably wasn’t the strongest material to work with. Continue reading
Spotify has increasingly been a source of new music for me (thanks to my car radio recently totally breaking), and it was on one of their playlists I recently tripped across this awesome song by Chelsea Lankes, which has been out for a bit but I continue to enjoy. Continue reading
