Bay Area Spotlight: @SOBxRBE ‘s “Carpoolin'” Is Crazy, Hectic Fun

Amidst the tremendous amount of success that SOB x ROE has been having lately, it’s a perfect time for the collective to come together for new music. And that’s just what they did; they announced that a new project called Gangin is set to drop on Feb. 23. In addition to the revelation, they also released the first track from the upcoming collaboration, an insane single called “Carpoolin’.”
Think “Bay Area Bounce x 10” and you’ll get a rough idea of what this song entails. It’s fast and unforgiving, brutal and honest. But it’s also a damn good time. The collective sounds like they’re having fun amidst all of the success that they’re seeing, and it’s good to hear their camaraderie. You can tell that, outside of music, these guys are real friends. Another thing that works for this release is the production by Joe$$. It’s like he took a classic West-Coast beat, played it 4 times fast, then placed random scratches in it. Describing it shouldn’t take more than one word: brilliant. Hopefully, the collective notes the chemistry they have with this producer so we can get similar music in the future.
Listen to “Carpoolin'” below.

Godbliss & Papoose Snap on “God Tier” — And It’s Mean

Some records talk tough. Others are tough. “God Tier” falls into the latter. Godbliss linked up with Papoose for a bar-heavy banger that checks every real rap box: punchlines, flow, grit, message, and presence. This track doesn’t just knock — it slaps you awake.
Godbliss proves yet again why he’s a respected force in the underground — unfiltered, intelligent, and vicious on the mic. “I cut you up to link sausages,” he spits with zero hesitation, layering graphic metaphor with East Coast bite. Papoose, ever the technician, fires back with Bronx-worthy venom and deadly delivery, flipping street tales into punchline poetry.
The production? Dirty and deliberate, it gives both emcees the space to wild out without losing the structure. What really sets “God Tier” apart is how clean and cohesive it sounds while still feeling raw. This ain’t for the TikTok crowd. This is gym music. Cipher music. Real rap fans, do yourself a favor and press play now — and then again. You’ll find something new in each listen.

Omega The Poet drops “Candy” with Foolie $urfin

“Candy” is a seductive, & sexy ride where Omega the Poet and Foolie $urfin compare a woman’s allure to the sweetness of candy and the sleek luxury of a Mercedes.
The track blends dreamy melodies with lust-driven lyricism, capturing the high of infatuation and the temptation that comes with beauty and desire. It’s a sonic fantasy — smooth, hypnotic, and dripping with double meanings.
Check out “Candy” below.

Star2 x Sprite x Luh Kel Drop “Where Would You Go?”

Star2 x Sprite x Luh Kel release the new single and video “Where Would You Go?”. The song taps into the frustration of questioning someone’s loyalty to you. The verses seamlessly shift between English and Thai in a vibrant fusion of R&B-infused melodic hip hop that is both poignant and powerful.
“Where Would You Go?” was filmed at Wat Saket (The Golden Mount), which is a significant ancient Buddhist temple in Bangkok where monks live and pray. Many scenes took place in the cave on the property that displays a large replica of the towering 33 ft. “Bamiyan Buddha” from central Afghanistan that was destroyed by the Taliban in 2001, and recreated to bring back the lost cultural heritage.
“Where Would You Go?” is from Star2’s forthcoming EP, No Place Like Home, which is set to drop on May 9th.
