Few things have changed more in my lifetime than Rap Beefs.

I spent the entire week filtering through some amazing productions and it wasn’t easy to dwindle them down to ten songs. |

Durk is Atlanta based now, but he’s clearly got mad love for the place he grew up. It shows unabashedly with this song, accompanying video, and neighborhood hero organization. Now Lil Durk is spreading his success as wide as he possibly can. |
King Princess’ latest single Pussy Is God is anything but subtle, including how fantastic it is. Full of bombast and bravado, this song is so catchy it’s likely to win over even those folks the title seems intended to offend. |
That extra hour in bed has got me feeling all kinds of energetic this Monday morning, so before I get too distracted by everything “holiday season,” let's turn our attention to the latest edition of We Are The Guard's Best Indie Songs. |
