Mixtape: RTC x Naledge x Phli
Another blast from the past for you: Last summer DJ RTC (who also runs RubyHornet) did a live interview and mix session with Naledge of the Kidz In The Hall (during his tenure at Rawkus), as part of RTC’s “A Poor Craftsman Always Blames His Tools” series. Hosted in part by Phli’s Dave Jeff, RTC…
Video: Yung Berg feat. Casha – “The Business”
Ruh-roh. Edit: I’m guessing the goons over at Viacom are pulling this video at every opportunity they get. God forbid something run on youtube with a BET tag on it. I mean, isn’t that free advertising? It’s not like I watch BET anyways (there, I said it!)
Spree Wilson – “Word!” (Prod. by No ID)
Finally one of my favorite emerging artists, Atlanta’s own: Spree Wilson, gives me an excuse to post some of his music. You know, since I try to keep with the “All Chicago” theme, I rarely take it upon myself to post music from other regions. Well, Spree recently teamed up with his mentor (see, it’s…

Com Sense was on his Chicago collegiate grind this weekend. First for a show at DePaul on Friday and then at Northwestern’s “Dillo Day” on Saturday. I didn’t attend either since, well, I’m not a student.
FSD Interviews Twista

Switching gears from artist to executive, Twista, despite the fact that he’s one of the most…
Mikkey Halsted – “Luv My N****z”
I hate to be known as Mr. Vintage over here (please call me “Mr. Garage Sale Mp3 Man”), but seriously, if music is in the vaults, it really needs to see the light of day. Did you ever wonder what Mikkey would’ve sounded like over a Cash Money beat? Well if the curiosity was killing…

Video: Mick Luter – “How We Raised”
Two Mick Luter videos in one day? Absolutely. Here’s Da Visionaryz-directed clip for the SC-produced, “How We Raised”. I’m really feeling the video and like how it all comes together at the end. Well done, Mick. This is the first single from his yet-to-be-titled upcoming album, but you can expect his new mixtape sometime within…
