Red Cafe Jacks King Louie’s Too Cool?
Admittedly I’m a Red Cafe fan. Have been since he was in Da Franchise all the way back in the late 90s. So it was an obvious move for me to download his Hells Kitchen mixtape when it dropped late this afternoon. While giving it my first spin, I made it to the bonus cuts…

Vic Mensa – The Ganja (Get Familiar)

FSD Interviews DGainz
If you’ve been closely following the (under-under) underground rap scene in Chicago over the past six months, you know there’s a bit of a renaissance brewing. Not to say the scene has suffered or gone anywhere, but there’s a new troop of artists creating content in the city. Content which has largely gone unnoticed by…
