Pugs Atomz feat. 6th Sense – “Winners”
Produced by ILL Poetic. I’m proud to unleash the first leak from Pugs Atomz’ FSD and 2 Dope Boyz sponsored mixtape, Road 2 The Top hosted by DJ Graffiti. You see the dope artwork above, as well as some of what to expect from the mixtape (appearances from Sadat X, DJ Vadim, Primeridian and others….
Video: Mikkey Halsted – “My Life”
Here’s a live-action video for Mikkey Halsted’s “My Life”, which was featured on Mikkey’s Uncrowned King mixtape that dropped a while back. If you’re unfamiliar with the track, I’ll start by saying that it’s absolutely one of my favorites from the mixtape, as Mikkey takes you on a walk through his life and tells the…
Video: Sly Polaroid Photo Shoot (Behind the Scenes)
I’m glad Sly’s getting that professional photo shoot done. I know you guys were sick of me using that same old pic of him in the white T. By the way, I was cruising around the city today and saw a whole gaggle of Sly Polaroid promo posters. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to…
Video: Bighomie Doe – Smoke Sum’n B*tch TV (Ep. 1)
In the first installment of Smoke Sum’n B*tch TV, Bighomie Doe talks his “Whaddup (Remix)” featuring Mistah Fab and Naledge, his upcoming show (Exit Fake Shore Drive), the Chicago Picasso and more. But my question is: what were you doing up at 6:30am, Doe? Ha!
Common, Twista, Crucial Conflict, Do or Die & DA Smart – “All About the Bad Boyz”
Wow. Sulaiman @ Blind I snapped with this one. This is truly classic material, and a treat for this rainy Memorial Day: Happy Memorial Day! In celebration I’ma throw it back about 12 years ago with a super-rare joint that used to get heavy rotation the summer of ‘97 here in Chicago on WGCI. Mike…
Video: 21st Century Hip Hop vs. Mims
Chicago group 21st Century Hip Hop are claiming Mr. “This is Why I’m Hot” bit their concept for a rock-infused record Mims did called “Devilhorns”. Apparently, Mims dropped “Rockin Rollin” years after 21st Century unleashed “Devilhorns”, and the concept was lifted completely. Sounds a bit far-fetched, but hey, anything can happen. See for yourself.
Video: Red Cafe feat. Twista – “There He Go” (Twista’s Verse)
Here’s Twista’s verse from Red Cafe’s “There He Go”. Not sure when or where the full version will surface, however. In other Twista-related news, Category F5 has officially been pushed back until July 14th, which will enable “Wetter” to breathe a little longer until the next single is released (potentially the R. Kelly joint, “Yellow…
Reno Chinati – “Hate Me”
Here’s a bonus track from Reno’s recently released mixtape, New Year, New Money. Also new, is the new cover that Reno put together for the mixtape. It’s definitely under the Pen & Pixel act. Next time you need more diamonds, a Bentley and your own champagne, though. Reno Chinati – “Hate Me “ Download the entire…
Mikkey Halsted – “We Are One” (Prod. by No ID)
Here’s a Mikkey x No ID collabo that will not appear on Chicago: The Photo Album, or The Last Shall Be First. This track is super introspective and super official, so I’m glad it’s seeing the light of day. No ID describes this joint as “what we go through in Chicago” Mikkey Halsted – “We…
