On the second track to drop from this collaboration between Kanye West and Jay-Z, we get an Otis Redding sample, an answer as to who invented swag, and a whole lotta hot air. Sure, Kanye West and Jay-Z are notorious for their bragging skills. But when they’re together, those
For a duo, JEFF the Brotherhood has an incredibly full and distorted sound. There’s a lot of kinetic energy flying between these two Nashville musicians on this new recording, We Are the Champions. And if these guys are champions as anything, it’s bringing back the vocals and melodic
