Jay Hen Gwoppa – Gheorghe Mureşan
“Kush so fye, I’m high, Gheorghe Mureşan” I’m literally LOLing right now. Just last night, after posting a track named after former NBA star (!) Tony Kukoc, I put out a feeler, requesting that a local artist record a song dedicated to the most ridiculous NBA player of all time (imo), Gheorghe Mureşan. Alert: Chicago rappers…

Naledge + Willie The Kid – State Of The Union
Produced by Sinatra Chicago’s Naledge and Grand Rapids’ Willie The Kid have been toying with the idea of recording an album together for some time now. Well yesterday it became a reality, as the twosome hit Soundscape Studios to break ground on their yet-to-be-titled album. I dropped by the session and heard some music and…
Chris Crack – Tony Kukoc
Alert: Chicago rappers naming songs after NBA players is officially a trend. Trendwatch over. What, with “Dwight Howard,” “Delonte West,” and now “Tony Kukoc” hitting the site, it’s a craze. I can’t lie, though, I won’t be satisfied until someone records a “Gheorghe Mureșan.” And samples this. Look for this Project Mayhem-affiliate to drop his…
