Philadelphia band SNACKTIME releases six-track EP ‘This Is Dance Music’ with ‘SDTS’: Listen
SNACKTIME’s latest track ‘SDTS’ reminds me of the hook on The Notorious BIG’s ‘Party & Bullshit’ a little. Only this time, it’s about smoking, drinking, and talking shit.

As the lyric video opens, the guitarist and drummer wear Sixers jerseys. Throughout its storytelling, we learn that the septet are booked and busy stating that “We had three damn gigs/all before six”. What does it sound like? In short, it is smooth rapping paired with live instrumentation that your parents and grandparents could enjoy if there’s a clean version without the swear words. Having started in 2020 when the global pandemic put us all on pause, SNACKTIME set out to make music that would inspire people to come together and dance. It is one of the best ways to put everything aside and remember that life is about the memories we make.
It comes from the group’s new six-track extended play, ‘This Is Dance Music’, fusing multiple genres like Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop and R&B. If you’re around, check out the gentlemen at their New Year’s Eve headlining show at Brooklyn Bowl.
