From Rebecca:

“Stalley lays introspective lyrics over bass-heavy beats.  He’s a quieter presence on the up-and-coming scene than others, but still waters run deep. Phil Adé, who’s signed to silky soul singer Raheem DeVaughn’s label and dropped one of the better mixtapes of last year, The Letterman, should also be on your radar. Check out my review of Stalley’s latest mixtape, Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music), for a preview of what the night will feel like.”
