SPITGAN MAGAZINE: SPITTING MAD FIRE
Whoever told you Hip Hop/ Trap can’t be country at the same time is TRIPPIN’. Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road (Produced by Youngkio) has been getting some attention lately for being removed from the Billboard Country chart. Apparently it wasn’t country enough… If “Cowboy hat from Gucci, Wrangler on my booty” isn’t country enough, I don’t know what is! Anyways, this track is dooope and it’s as close to country i’ll ever get!
Old Town Road – Lil Nas X

These past few days, 21 Savage has been through ‘A LOT’ to say the least. On his record ‘A Lot’ Savage teams up with J. Cole to deliver a reflective track (produced by J. White Did it & DJ Dahi) which he has paired with remarkable visuals. First things first, we absolutely MUST acknowledge the skill in the production of this track. The producers have tastefully paired drums with a sample from East Underground’s ‘I Love you’.
Savage reflects on his past, from the hardships of growing up in Atlanta to the pain of losing numerous friends and suffering from numerous gunshot wounds. He later (in the extended version) speaks of current events such as the water crisis in Flint, Michigan and the mistreatment of migrants at the US-Mexico border.
One of the highlights of this track is definitely J. Cole’s appearance [and homeboy had A LOT to say]. Cole spoke of the current state of the music industry (I personally found the faking streams phenomena quite intriguing), his career and current names both in hip hop and basketball.

Yooo if you need a new banger to turn up to in your car, in the club OR at the pre-grame, I gotchu. Check out Bet by Octavian (@octavianessie) featuring Michael Phantom (@michaelphantom)! The South-East London rapper spits some aggressive bars on a [FIIIIRREEE] track produced by King Payday. I just have one request for Octavian. Next time you make a track like this, can it please be more than 2 minutes long? Thanks.
Check out the video!

New Jersey body-catcher SageInfinite has been shining on his Winners teammates’ fan-favorite releases like Hus Kingpin’s Cocaine Beach and SmooVth’s Medellin, as well as last year’s solo fully produced by Won87, Sleeper Cell. However, this year he will be smacking listeners in the face with a soulful yet intense EP with Vancouver, BC producer Ro Data titled Sage of The Six Paths.
We got the latest drop from the project, “Ridin’ Out”, with a cameo by the Dart Unit’s terror general Ralphiie Reese. Paired with Sage’s deluge of bars, a lot of part-time emcees might finally decide to pack it in with this one.
