So I leave for a few hours to see a good old fashioned hip-hop show, and what happens?  Com Sense leaks his new track “U.M.C.” (not to be confused with these guys – although I wish it was).

Brand new Mick Luter for you (so for those who’ve been asking for more Mick and more Mikk, you should all be thrilled at this point).

Chicago Network Connected (or rather CNC) have been making some noise with their current single “Touch the Sky”, getting significant spins on Power 92 and WGCI (if you’re still into terrestrial radio) – throw Mick Luter on the track and it’s FSD certified.    They recently wrapped the video – so be on the lookout for…
