Since VH1 decided not to air an episode of Miss Rap Supreme this evening (for reasons unbeknownst to me), I figured we’d give you some MRS content of our own.  Last week, after Chicago’s Lady Twist was unfairly and unjustly booted from the program, I did a write-up in honor of our fallen Windy City…

@ Webster Hall. Already performing this one live? Damn, that was fast. By the way, if you’re in NYC on May 20th you may want to stop by SOB’s for their album release party/live performance. Enough with NYC already, when are you guys returning to the Go? Spotted via Grandgood

So earlier today a dope-but-dated (maybe a year?) unreleased mixtape fell into my lap from none other than the Go’s Jay Illa (definitely one of the freshest DJ’s in the city). The name of the mix is Go IL or Go Home and features the likes of Naledge, Pugs, GLC, Ivy League and the Boardroom….

Kanye just posted a copy of the N.E.R.D. remix to “Everyone Nose” featuring Kanye, Lupe Fiasco and Pusha Ton. I thought I was going to be “Rick Rolled” when I clicked on the track, but turns out this is legit. Enjoy. Dopeness. Edit: Welp, that was fast. Shout to LupeEnd for sending over. N.E.R.D. feat….

Power pop artist and the man behind one of my favorite albums of 2007, Kenna, hit the studio with two major Chicago artists to record remixes to his Make Sure They See My Face. It appears Jesse over at Dubfrequency put this together (shout to Jesse, by the way), but I just spotted this over…

Duck Down Records/Major League Entertainment, 2008 The Kidz In The Hall return with their sophomore project, The In Crowd, via Duck Down Records. Buzz for this project has been gaining momentum for months, stretching from the hipster, to backpack to TRL crowd. Do they live up to the hype and pass the test, or are…

Another Rashid track from his A Change Gon Come mixtape (which I’ll post very soon, I promise) – The PHD  produced “Feels Good”. Did anyone check out the mixtape release party last night?  Hopefully we’ll have some footage from that soon. Rashid Hadee – “Feels Good” (Prod. by PHD)

Q: What’s funnier than watching people in the background while the rapper is freestyling? A: Nothing.
