— Sharell Jeffrey (@SharellMJeffrey) October 2, 2017I knew I'd initially regret hitting send for the sheer about of volume I'd receive. A few local rappers that all sound like artists from a specific region I won't mention. A couple rappers actually from that region rapping over already famous beats with the original artist on the hook and they call it a "feature." Then a recommendation from an artist PR that used to work with village voice comes in with a emcee from Brooklyn. KOTA The Friend is his name. Without much else to go on, I reluctantly press play to HER part 2. It's a single verse that is the sequel to a concept series of the same name. This is a perfect introduction to a new artist and it's safe to say KOTA will be on WTM radar for a long time after this. I have more research to do now. Let's not waste any time. I need you guys to press play and be just as impressed as me. If my math is right, part three should be on the way soon.

You know some days you get lucky. I can sift through a bunch of submission emails trying to find a gem though the sleeze or worse, your dms & mentions. Twitter is a helluva place I'm telling you.
