How come every Common interview asks him the same damn softball questions ? Seriously. Where’s the hard-hitting stuff? Wait until FSD gets a chance to speak with Lonnie (we’ll see if that ever happens), I’m going to ask him questions that the real Chicago heads want to know. Like, will there be any Chicago artists…

RubyHornet recently did an interview with long-time Rhymefest video collaborator Konee Rok, who was nice enough to share some stills ‘from Fest’s first video from El Che, “Stolen”, a song dealing with the current madness going on in Darfur. In other El Che news, Konee confirmed that the first official single will be called “Binary…

pic jacked from H.E.R. Ruh-roh. Looks like the New York Daily News gave Kanye’s Glow In The Dark Tour stop in NYC a less-than-glowing review. **shots fired** Titled “Kanye West’s Wrong Direction”, Jim Farber (no relation!), writes: By appearing as a solitary figure on a blank expanse – with his band banished to a place…

This is hip hop.  

I meant to post this yesterday when it was “officially” released, but I wasn’t sure if it was available for free download or not. Turns out it is. Rash and this mixtape are super official, so I highly recommend you check it out. Again, if you aren’t familiar with Rashid’s work, check out “Dreams” from…

Guess what? More vocoder!!! Aren’t we sick of this yet? Does every new single have to include auto-tune? I like to think that Roger Troutman is rolling around in his grave right now. Discuss. Yung Berg feat. Casha – “The Business”

New music from D-Win. This time as part of the group, The Rocketeers, with Johnny Rocket (not to be confused with this place). From their upcoming EP: Blue Clouds, White Skies, they bring us “Saved by the Bell”. I’m feeling this track – definitely not what I was expecting. I thought it was going to…

How many rappers do you know that make Birthday songs about themselves? A hot one at that? Featuring cover art? Well, never fear because J-Kwest jumps outside of the box to release “Everyday Is My Birthday” in honor of his 25th born day. The homie Kwest had to say: “Praise God for another year. As…

Alright, alright – I need a late pass on this one. The duo of Young RJ and Black Milk, formerly known as BR Gunna, dropped this dope video a whiiiile back with a guest shot from FSD favorite, MIck Luter (why didn’t they credit your boy on the track?). So due to high demand and…

First off, let me start by saying that this is quite possibly the worst-edited radio interview I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I mean, usually these things are pretty seamless, but this sounds like Berg called in during a commercial break and the only person on hand to “cut-and-paste” was the college intern. I…
