V-Dub DJ V-Dub’s playlist in June moved past the obvious GBE tracks and focused on Louie’s “Val Venis,” which was recently released. “Understand Me,” the Chief Keef track with Young Jeezy, looks to be gaining traction as the next track to gain lift-off for Keef, if passing cars are any measure. It’s not an “I Don’t Like”-level smash, and I preferred “Finessin'” personally, but it seems to have a lot of momentum within his now-significant fanbase. Mono’s “Young Ni**as” has been slept on in the blog world, but it’s a hypnotic, minimal production by Young Copo that could serve, alongside Pac Man’s “My Dreads,” as a thematic anthem for this movement. “40 Bang” got a really distinctive DGainz video so it’s got a higher profile, but is still relatively slept on & knocks pretty tough.
At this point, you should all be familiar with Bo Deal’s big “Wow” remix, Lil Durk’s “L’z Anthem,” which already is on track to be considered a 2012 Chicago classic, and “Real Bitch” from Sasha’s recent mixtape, which also got a DGainz video. King Samson’s “Squadd” is a Chop-produced gothic banger from the V-Dub-hosted Party X Bullshit mixtape from last week. Pha’tal’s “Fuck Around” was featured on the New Chicago compilation, and included an underrated double-time verse from Keef. LEP’s “Showtime” is one of the group’s best singles, thanks in part to a crazy Jahlil Beats beat that includes the sound of clucking-tongue percussion; I’m surprised they haven’t pushed it as a single, because it sounds to me like it’s got legs.
