It’s crazy how a sub genre can grow in a city and contain there for a while and influence other new rappers from the same area in such short time.

Issue 53 What a summer. Chance The Rapper releases what might be the most boring album to date. A$ap Rocky is still facing charges of assault – in my city here in Sweden to add to that. And a lot of good music. Like YBN Cordae that I hadn’t paid attention to prior to his …
