Video: Pavy & Qualmes – Yoppa
Directed by TPJ I like to refer to Pav and Qualmes as the party boys. They should really swap their name to that. Every time I see them, or post a video, they’re on one and almost always having a good time. Even if they’re locked up on some trumped up charges, as you’ll see…
New Project: ClarkAirlines – 11pm In Chicago
It’s 11/11 so it’s only right that ClarkAirlines gives us a surprise project on this special day.

Hotstylz – Why I Left Chicago
Raydio G of the Hotstylz trio releases a rather humorous, yet dark, track describing just why he moved away from the city of Chicago. From shootings, to losing sports teams, to issues with the mayor — Raydio was fed up. So he packed his ish and hit the bricks. He cleverly flips “Hotline Bling” for his…
Eryn Allen Kane – Piano Song
The great Eryn Allen Kane premiered a new song tonight via BET’s Being Mary Jane program (yeah, you know you heard it), and fresh off taking your airwaves hostage she has liberated the track for her fans via Soundcloud. We’re happy she did. It’s truly a piano song, and it’s another winner from the Kane cannon….
