Corner Store Escapades

The importance of music can’t be overstated — it’s the perfect dose of dopamine to jump-start your day. Take the holiday season, for example. When you’re making that last-minute grocery run, you’re not blasting Christmas tunes — heavens no. As you’re bending corners, burning rubber with the faint smell of tar in the air, grabbing a hot meal from your local corner store, you’re going to want something underground. And the best artist to set that mood? MexikoDro.

MexikoDro started out as a well-rounded, well-known producer. You’ve probably heard his signature “Plug!” producer tag on tracks by major artists like Drake, Kodak Black, and Playboi Carti. He’s been in the game for years, but now he’s solidifying his place as a solo artist with his latest project, Still Going. The EP.

As I listened to the album, one thing stood out — every song features just one verse. That choice makes each track raw, focused, and authentic. The project is easy to vibe with when you’re on the move or on a mission — pure “go get it”energy. That kind of motivation-driven sound isn’t as common in today’s scene, which makes MexikoDro’s work feel fresh yet nostalgic. This project hints that hip-hop might be shifting back toward music that motivates and moves everyday listeners.

The standout track for me was “Maid,” though his viral hit “No Date” had the internet buzzing for weeks. These two songs alone are enough to keep the whole EP on repeat — perfect workout or grind-mode music. As a music lover, I’m ecstatic to see the underground scene heating back up and reclaiming its edge.

It’s funny how history always repeats itself in the music world — mainstream versus underground, again and again.
