There’s just way too much stuff out there to stay up to date with EVERYTHING. Anyways…pretty solid joint from a new artist named Caliph called “Dedicated” produced by Dallas-based producer Izzy The Kid (no relation to Izhe Da Kid lol).
You know you’ve made it when your blog starts getting quoted in press releases lol. Peep Saidah‘s The Telephone Demos EPhere and if you’ve never seen her perform live then you best read the press release below (full release under the hood):
