‘R&Cs: Expensive Pain’ is part of a trove of playlists we just recovered. While it may be…ancient, we still believe it holds value in helping with music discovery. I don’t know when you got on the Meek Mill train, but the title track to his latest album, Expensive Pain, is the type of joint the...Continue reading

R&Cs: Lo Siento BB:/
‘R&Cs: Lo Siento BB:/’ is part of a trove of playlists we just recovered. While it may be…ancient, we still believe it holds value in helping with music discovery. I never miss the opportunity to showcase Latin Pop music — it’s usually classified under the umbrella of Música Urbana, which I abhor. When super producer...Continue reading
R&Cs: Poke It Out
‘R&Cs: Poke It Out’ is part of a trove of playlists we just recovered. While it may be…ancient, we still believe it holds value in helping with music discovery. If you qualify as an old head as I do, from the first notes of Wale’s single “Poke It Out”, you’d be quick to remember the...Continue reading
R&Cs: Godzilla
The homie was talking earlier about the older cats embracing the new generation of talent. And there’s no bigger case here than the recent pairing of Eminem and gone-too-soon Juice WRLD on “Godzilla”. We often deride the current hip-hop flagbearers and point at their lack of rapping skills, which they make up for with other...Continue reading
R&Cs: Trick’a Treat
One more for the ShenYeng clan! Since “Blessed” took off last year, Shenseea has been in high demand. And you won’t hear any complaints from me when the trickle we’ve been accustomed to turns into a steady stream of Shenseea bangers like “Trick’a Treat”. The gem is one of many from the Aircraft Riddim; she...Continue reading
R&Cs: My Oh My
Come to think of it, I might not be showing enough love to Camila Cabello in this segment; after all, she has an excellent track record as a pop star. I have been playing “My Oh My” — in fact, the whole of Romance — for a couple months now, and I was champing at...
R&Cs: Chappelle’s Show
First of all, I could care less to know what brought about this Wiz Khalifa and AD collaboration. Secondly, I don’t really care to agonize about the project it will end up on: as of this writing it’s only available (from a verified source) on YouTube. I really don’t care because this is as close...Continue reading
R&Cs: A Sinner’s Story
I don’t really remember how I stumbled upon ShooterGang Kony. his brooding performance on “A Sinner’s Story” made me a fan instantly. (I’ve since gone through his catalogue and I’m confident the kid is bound to make a mark.) The complementary video fully captures the mood of the song, which frankly deserves more plaudits than...Continue reading
R&Cs: Souris verte
Before I launch into this playlist and the lead track, “Souris verte”, let me first note that we at The Buck Stop have been out of commission for a few days. We were all gutted to learn that our childhood idol Kobe Bryant, along with his daughter and seven others, were killed in a helicopter...Continue reading
R&Cs: WHATS POPPIN
The lead comes straight out of Derby City — that’s Louisville, Kentucky if you’re not so sports-inclined — by way of Atlanta. I’m a newbie as far as Jack Harlow is concerned. He was one of my pleasant discoveries last year and I happily featured joints off of his last and solid opus (Confetti) in...Continue reading
