Knox Fortune – Seaglass
Knox Fortune dropped a debut track a couple of days and none of you bums alerted me? Shame on you. That’s blasphemous. I’ve been hearing he’s dope in front of the mic (as opposed to in the background working his magic at LPZ Studios), and the rumblings were accurate. This shit is the truth. You…
Check Out Kevin Coval & Nate Marshall’s New Project ‘1989, The Number’
Our homie Kevin Coval has joined forces with Nate Marshall on some Drake/Future type ish to bring us the new and free chapbook and audio book, 1989, The Number. This project, much like Drake and Future’s, was put together in six days as the creativity was in abundance. And yes, some of the greatest works…
Elzhi – Two 16s
Produced by Karriem Riggins This beat is en fuego, and Elzhi expectedly kills this. Karriem has long been one of my favorite producers — one who doesn’t get enough credit. He’s produced a number of my favorite joints over the years, most recently Kanye’s “30 Hours.” Elz’ long awaited album, Lead Poison, drops in two weeks.
Video: Stunt Taylor – Lifted
Big Stunt gets his fans, friends and followers lifted in his amped up new video for, well, “Lifted.” The party’s at his place, and there’s enough provisions to last throughout the evening. Partake in the party life below.
Video: Black Ralphy’L – Rolling Stone
Papa was a rolling stone, and apparently, so is Black Ralphy’L. He also might be a father to a few of you out there, so if the shoe fits… I kid, I kid, of course. However, Black’s “Rolling Stone” video is no below. Word to Mick Jagger.
Doughboy x Lil Durk – Kilo
Produced by ChopSquad DJ “A kilo weighs a thousand grams.” Yes, this is true, and today our STL homie Doughboy give us that work alongside Lil Durk, for his new single “Kilo.” It’s straight kilo talk — but the intended clientele is fans, not fiends. Well, that’s the goal at least. Another STL native, ChopSquad…
Roman Flowrs – Faithful / 773 Luv
Some new/old from Roman Flowrs. Welcome back, homie. Well, kind of. These two joints were released back in 2013 and were vaulted for whatever reason. We’re not exactly sure why, because both of these are winners. Roman promises more is on the way. Roman Flowrs is back with new music, well sort of, pulling from…
Logan Cage – #IWannaGoOnTour
Produced by Flight Logan Cage feels caged. That’s his mood. And that’s a mood we don’t want anyone to experience — especially from fans of the site or one of the artists we support. So what’s eating Logan Cage? Tour. He wants to go on tour. He’s bout that tour life. Somebody route this boy…
Chance The Rapper Responds To Spike Lee
The Chi-Raq controversy continues. Late last week, Spike Lee was at Northwestern University in Evanston hosting a screening and Q&A of his controversial film, Chi-Raq, which has basically infuriated the entire city of Chicago. Sure, Spike has his supporters, but for the most part Chicagoans have panned the film — especially within the hip-hop community. And…
