In typical Kanye fashion, he’s decided to tease us with some screencaps from his latest video, “Homecoming” featuring, you know, that guy from Coldplay. I must say I’m happy to see that ‘Ye brought it back to the ‘Go for the clip. And shooting in front of the Bean was so necessary. It’s about time…

Terror Squad affiliate Mush Millions just dropped his latest Mixtape, Tha Movie, which is exclusively hosted by DJ “We Da BESSST” Khaled. Tha Movie features appearances from Fat Joe, Bump J, Juice and more. I had a chance to sit down and speak with Mush Milly last night to discuss the mixtape, his relationship with…

I’ve been meaning to post these for a while, but just got around to it now. My bad. The MP3 Round Up features Chicago artists that you may not be too familiar with, but you should definitely be checking for… First up, friends of FSD and definitely two artists who are making some serious noise…

Producer Silence and emcee Qwazaar got together to form the fresh-to-death duo of Dirty Digital. Check out their latest single featuring G.O.O.D. Music’s very own, GLC. Something totally different for the clubs. Dirty Digital feat. GLC – “Sodapopinski”

Damn, I definitely need my late pass on this one. Spin Magazine did a big feature and fashion spread on some of the “brightest stars of the Windy City” in their March 2008 issue.

Um yeah, as you know, I’m not too heavy into posting R&B stuff around here (unless it’s an R.Kelly diss track), but what the hey, I figured a few of you may be interested in checking out this new track from R&B crooner, Ben 1. Shawnna is kicks a verse at the end. Enjoy. Ben…

Last week we brought you Common’s reworking of “The Light” courtesy…

Astonish – From Now Until Forever (Molemen Records, 2008) Astonish is the newest member of Chicago’s storied Molemen crew, and last week he dropped his debut album, From Now Until Forever. I saw him open up for the Wu-Tang Clan back in December and he really impressed me. Did he live up to the expectations…

The homie Naledge just hit me with a new joint he did with Mickey (don’t call me Hipster rap) Factz. Definitely a fresh tandem. “Too many rappers and not enough fans/Too many players, not enough in the stands”-Naledge Naledge & Mickey Factz – “Naledge vs. Factz”

With a ridiculous Kanye stand-in.  I’ve seen ‘Fest do this routine a few times – quite hilarious. Spotted via Eskay
