Baltimore, Maryland emcee SK da King returning after almost 2 years for his 3rd EP. Emerging as a member of the Checkered Flag Boyz under the original moniker Paul Skola, it wasn’t until a few years ago where he signed to Conway the Machine’s very own Drumwork Music Group as a solo act as announced by his debut single “Actions” & would go on to introduce himself to the Drumwork fanbase that fall in the form of the debut EP Horus. His full-length debut studio album Made 4 This came after Before the Album & is back once again to put his foot down saying No More Mr. Guy.
“Fuck Being Humble” was exactly how I could’ve imagined it starting off from the boom bap instrumental to the confidentially boastful lyrics never selling out unless it’s weight whereas the title track goes for a darker atmosphere so he can take the gloves off on being generous. “Not at All” switches it up in favor of a trap direction talking about putting rubber bands on the cash like lobster claws while “Hustle or Starve” grittily takes on the familiar theme of survival of the fittest.
The drums get stripped on The New King” stepping up his rhyme schemes off the dome until SK drops dime on what he’s learned in the streets & the music industry in general during “The Game 101” giving advice from his own personal experiences. “They Don’t Love You” finishes No More Mr. Nice Guy with 1 last boom bap track talking about there being nothing worse than receiving fake love from fake thugs you for everything you’ve got.
Gearing up for an upcoming sophomore effort since last summer when SK da King’s last EP Guns N Butter came out, No More Mr. Nice Guy gives me a strong feeling it could surpass Made 4 This & hopefully get more attention from heads in the underground whenever the next LP is ready. Holding the fort by himself unlike the predecessor having a few features, the penmanship of the Checkered Flag Boyz’ strongest link feels notably sharpened from when he initially signed in 2021 & the boom bap production packs a bigger punch.
Score: 8/10

Bay Area producer Bobby CA returns with a heavy-hitting collaboration, teaming up with Buffalo emcee El Camino on their latest track, “Story Time.” The single is raw, cinematic, and unfiltered—El Camino brings his signature grit while Bobby CA delivers a moody, piano-driven beat that sets the tone for a street tale soaked in realism.
Camino’s flow is laid-back but intense, weaving a narrative about a man who steps out for a moment and ends up caught in the worst kind of timing.
The production gives the story space to breathe, with keys that feel ghostly and minimal. Rather than overpowering, Bobby CA’s beat holds back, letting the lyrics cut through with clarity. The tension builds slowly, circling the block both literally and musically, until everything unravels in a burst of chaos.
This is more than just a street anthem. It’s a cautionary tale, wrapped in cold truths and delivered with authenticity. Camino’s presence on the mic is steady and believable, making it clear that this isn’t fiction—it’s lived experience.
“Story Time” proves that storytelling in rap is still alive and well. No gimmicks, no filler—just two artists in sync, painting vivid scenes from a world where every decision could be your last.
