In the sweltering Texas heat, Neednoname emerged, his lyrics slurred but sharp as a whip, carrying the same laid-back charm as a lazy summer day. But it wasn’t until I caught him trading bars with SME Taxfree on “Late September” that I realized I’d been sleepwalking through this debutante ball of a beat. Styrofoam cups in hand, the party was in full swing, with Neednoname’s quick-witted punchlines delivering more punch than a perfectly poured cup of coffee. Taxfree, on the other hand, is a star who doesn’t let the crowd stray for a second. He’s got the magic that keeps me listening, hooked on the very words that might otherwise lull me to sleep.
