Lute: Morning Shift
J. Cole’s Dreamville has some of the most introspective and interesting rappers on the label. North Carolina rapper Lute has a striking flow that stands out on track “Morning Shift.” Lute spits on being real and trying to be the best out of his city. Check it out below.
Wild Nothing: Nocturne
Wild Nothing seems to make some of the most nostalgic feeling music that I have ever heard.
