The Case of Chicago Artists and the XXL Freshman Cover — How Will We Fare This Year?
Words by Quentin Yarolem (@QuentinYarolem) XXL just released their list of potential 2016 freshmen candidates, and Chicago is represented very nicely.

Lupe Fiasco – Bone (Babylon Remix)
Mr. Fiasco brings us “Bone,” but isn’t talking about the Thugs from Cleveland. The only thing in common with the harmonizing quintet is the font. Ya feel me? Instead, “Bone” is Lupe’s take on SZA’s very-dope record “Babylon.” This joint is v crazy, and Lu effortlessly tears up the track. Are you working your fingers…

DJ MoonDawg & Friends Pay Tribute to DJ Timbuck2 on WGCI
The City of Chicago was shaken to its core earlier this week after losing the legend Timbuck2 to his battle with renal cancer. It was a tragic loss, and one that was felt across the world — not only Chicago. The world lost a friend, a brother, a son and one of the best DJs…

Lupe Fiasco Wants To Destroy All Physical Copies Of Lasers With New Campaign
People really dislike Lasers that much? I actually thought it was a pretty good album. It’s held up better than some of the stuff on The Cool, which was always my favorite Lupe album. I may have to revisit my official Lupe album rankings on the 10 year anniversary of Food & Liquor. But I…
