Month: August 2009

They did the photoshoot for this while they were all over in Japan for Swagger’s 10th anniversary party earlier this month.  You may remember the footage and pics I posted. via Sean

“Frozen” a collaboration from Mr. Halsted and Prolyfic is definitely one of my favorite Mikkey tracks.  Pro’s a beast, and I’m glad this record will be making The Photo Album.  When I first heard the beat I told Pro that it reminded me of an old Tom Petty (ayo!) song, that they used to run…

Damn.  Say it ain’t so.  Looks like Bump copped to the 2007 Oak Park bank robbery to avoid a potential life sentence.  He’s looking at 7 years.  This is tragic.  Hold your head, Bump. Faced with a possible life sentence in federal prison, Chicago rapper Terrance Boykin, aka Bump J, accepted a plea deal that…

L.E.P. and Jim Jones return with footage from their recent performance at a show date in Madison, Wisconsin, as part of L.E.P. Week #3. I wonder what’s in the works between these two factions. Hmmm…

Now, I don’t post flyers/pluggers on the site, unless it’s some kind of advertisement. Mostly because I get sooo many requests to do so, and it’s not that kind of party over here. Anyhoo, Q Hefna is throwing a show on September 2nd and he’s doing these ill promo clips running up to the show…

GL Joe put me on to this yesterday. A dope skate video throughout Chicago to the tune of The Cool Kids’ “The Art of Noise” from Gone Fishing. A music video treatment by Paul John. Producing new material for various viewers in a form that is most unique to the rollerblading industry. Starring- Alex Broskow,…

Is he listening to Pac? I think so. As Common leaves the set of Queen Latifah’s “Fast Car” video shoot, he drops a quick vlog and talks Michael Vick. Let that man live!

No Ill Will Records. The G Count hooks up with young gun ILL Will for an Al Green-infused head nodder.

Marvo & The-The-The-The Cannon (Cannon).  Sorry, it’s too much fun to type (and say) that. All jokes aside, Vo continues to fill his tracks with heart felt lyrics, that touch on the current events of today and not just the hogwash you’re predisposed to. This track is set to appear on MarVo’s upcoming mixtape, The Vobama Administration…

Week #5 of The Dilla Chronicles, brought to you by Fake Shore Drive & Brainiac Society. I’m going to go see Slum Village tonight.  Anyone else? Fooch – “The One” (Prod. by J. Dilla) THIS one is seriously one of my favorite Dilla beats ever.  Pac Div MURKED this a few years back on that…
