We dig what’s happening with Phil. His new single whiskey neat gives candid rap some fresh rhetoric. Smooth with carefree swagger and liquid courage, everything about Phil keeps it real.
The artist drops the rizz in convincing verses. Stylistically we think whiskey neat is a sure thing for fans of Childish Gambino and Frank Ocean. It’s got that lofi hip hop crossover neo soul appreciation snapback. And in the piano outro, it dips into an intriguing jazz sentiment. Where Phil goes from here, we can’t wait to see!

We love the classic community feel seen in the video for Step With Me. The new single from Nick Knights ft JoeJas is a revelation. Old school swagger with new school cool, the sentiment is enhanced by the videos throwback feel.
This an’t no fancy fraud flex. The rapper is keeping it real in their hometown digs. It hits fresh courtesy of their fluid rap skills and infectious lyricism. We dig it. Check it out.

Gisti caught our attention with their new release Ficus Mistress Benjamin (FMB). Old school instincts collide with modern energy on this expressive blend.
It’s slightly playful, citing an appreciation for soul and Motown in the same way Erykha Badhu or Arrested Development tagged the inspiration. It’s also modern abstract in the spirit of Foushee or SZA. Gisti is a stylistically chameleon. She’s crazy catchy and stylistically majestic. We love it.
