Nashville and Memphis — Tennessee’s two biggest cities — have more in common than their aggravated-sibling rivalry would suggest. Thankfully, rappers Starlito and Don Trip have been bridging the gap between them for nearly two decades. The duo’s long-running Step Brothers mixtape series returned in May after an eight-year hiatus with Step Brothers 4 Life. Lito and Trip sounded as hungry as ever, spitting sports-obsessed, down-to-earth rhymes with their back-and-forth chemistry reminiscent of Phife Dawg and Q-Tip. Listening, it felt like hearing them become best friends all over again.
