Stanza is so old-school Atlanta — like Candler Rd. back when South Dekalb Mall only had a two-screen movie theater; or like smoking out on Sundays at Mosley and Maddox parks, circa ’94, when the Cutlasses and Caddys used to parade through driving five miles per hour.

There’s something nostalgic about “Sometimes,” included on his seven-track Valentine’s mixtape Lyrical Lovers. It’s not just the strings, but Stanza’s flow. It reminds me of an era when cats preferred to rap to chicks instead of rapping about them on the sly.
