Last night, Wiz and Que hit the stage at Reggie’s for a quick set, which featured the two of them going in on “Run It”.  See how they ran it in the clip above. Hello! And I did not get any footage last night (the beard was in the way), so if anyone has some…

I just passed RoyAL on the street, and he said “I’m gonna send you a joint”, I said “okay”.  So I posted. It.  That’s the story.* Who says there ain’t no love in the heart of the city? RoyAL – “Let Me Down” *nhjic

The Best You nEver Heard release party wasn’t the only show in town last night – on the other side of the Chi the always-entertaining Hustle Simmons hosted his Hustlepalooza, which featured a whole slew of dope performers. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make both events, but luckily YNMD was on hand to capture some…

Last night’s mixtape release party for Mikkey Halsted’s Best You nEver Heard was a super official event.  Many of Chi-Town’s best and brightest were on hand to celebrate, and perform, with Mr. Halsted.

Twista tacks a verse on the Timbo & Timberlake radio tune. I say make it the official.  All in favor…. Twista – “Carryout”  Shouts OS

Produced by Charlie Brown, but spelled like Charli Baltimore.  Charli Brown. Sorry, I just confroosed myself.

Add-2…

Produced by Dario.  The latest from RubyHornet’s Closed Sessions catalog.  Says Emilio: “Closed Sessions was THAT SHIT. I got to meet and build with some really great talent and eat some good ass nachos (haha). The record turned out crazy and Chicago is a great place to be. Ruby Hornet is putting together great collaborations,…

Produced by the homie DJ Burn One. One of my favorite joints off Str8 Killa No Filla, which is sounding crazier by the day.  A radio rip of this one dropped a few weeks back, and TSS has been nice enough to liberate the for real, for real. Freddie Gibbs feat. Pill – “Do Wrong”…
