I’ve always trusted Cory Kendrix, so if he posts about new music I’m generally checking it out immediately. Therefore, when Cory lumped in a music recommendation with his recent label signing announcement, I knew that he must be extra hype about it. The track, a Jonny Jukebox track titled BetterThanDrugs on which Kendrix features, is definitely a banger, with slight The Weeknd vibes, but more of a lean towards the hip-hop side of things than the R&B side. Topically, the lyrics are solid, with the obvious connection of love addiction and drug addiction used as a setup to true love serving as ‘the plug’ rather than ‘the drug’. This track could definitely make some noise with the right placements, so I recommend you check it out now before it blows, cop it if you can, and share it around regardless.
