there is something about knowing an artist before most people do. i met @joeyoutrippin as a producer/engineer and he's shown his fluidity by becoming a recording artist. tonight's article is written with that specific kind of love.

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

basorexia is a word that means the overwhelming urge to kiss someone. @joeyoutrippin & @3rillofearth turned it into a song. new article in 6 minutes

[KOFO! @kofoistired]

@yardstckSN @satizzlestmg @PsychoYP @STRAFFITTI Well said

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

it's still an era, for real music lovers. i still go back to it from time to time. we love @STRAFFITTI surulere's very own.

[Baney @baneyjagger]

@yardstckSN @PsychoYP @STRAFFITTI Molotov was an era

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

also. gbed$$$ has a song called "available" on it. i could not write about it because i am too attached to be fair to it. but i need you to find it.

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

..@PsychoYP and @STRAFFITTI have history going back to molotov 2019. woe$kii is what that history sounds like six years later when both of them have grown into something serious. tonight's piece.

"like tenski, ọmọ, this shit chose me" is the line of the record for me. @SSSoundgawd tonight's soundnotes explains why. link in bio.

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

the production on tonight's article never drops. not once. same energy wall to wall from the first second to the last. wrote about why that is a decision and not an accident.

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

the chemistry between @starsamm and @Tobipeter8 , i doubt i can make enough emphasis on it honestly, i previously wrote an article about their song together titled "feeling myself" read here: https://t.co/9pNPECA1Kb
before diving into today's article "deja vu"

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

wrote tonight about a record that peaks, exhales, and then peaks again. two climaxes, one valley, zero wasted moments.
@DjSix7Even amapiano god in nigeria, bringing all these geniuses together to make deja vu isn't talked about enough, big ups. link in bio

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

@PsychoYP was on @STRAFFITTI molotov in 2019. he's on GBED$$$ in 2026. some reunions don't need an announcement. Find out more at 9PM, on substack. link in bio.

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

@SSSoundgawd fourth track as a recording artist. fourth. you would never know. 9PM.

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

@STRAFFITTI has been building something since before most people had ears for it. tonight's soundnotes is long overdue.
be the first to read at 9PM, link in bio

@DjSix7Even is 6'7 in real life. his name is literally his height. the audacity. the accuracy. new soundnotes on his music, not his height.

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

@starsamm sang alone for four minutes on this record and did not once ask for help. respect that.

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

[sound notes @yardstckSN]

visca is credited on this record, sang absolutely nothing, and somehow his presence still matters. the article explains it.
