“Same Ole” from Hip Hop duo Soundminerz is a track that pulls you into the repetitive cycle of life’s daily grind. From the first bar, you’re drawn into a loop—one that feels all too familiar, as if every day bleeds into the next. The song’s steady rhythm and introspective lyrics feel like a confession of frustration, yet it’s not entirely hopeless. It’s a reflection on the inner battle of wanting more, while being stuck in the patterns you know too well. The tension is raw, and the delivery hits close to home for anyone who’s ever felt caught in the monotony of routine.

Soundminerz, a duo made up of rapper Proph and producer Dirac, have been on the grind since their college days at Norfolk State University. With a shared passion for Hip Hop’s golden era, the two formed the group in 2014, determined to bring back the depth they felt the genre was missing. Their influences span legends like Nas, Biggie, and A Tribe Called Quest, but they’re far from just mimicking what’s come before. “Same Ole” exemplifies their desire to challenge norms, digging deeper into the human psyche. Now based in Oakland, California, they’ve made waves with their sophomore album Between Time and are gearing up for the highly anticipated Transitions dropping next summer.
