Henny B f/ Vic Spencer – Complex
So Henny sends me this email: Vic & I blacked out at Complex & this happened…another cut from the “Hennessy & Alchemist” mixtape. Is this a double entendre? Because when Henny B is involved, there is blacking out in both the booth and from the booze. Got it? This is her latest leak from her Alchemist-influenced…
Twista – They Luv Dat
Produced by DJ Tight Mike Hurricane Twista continues to blow through the industry, as cut loose yet another freestyle. He’s calling this one “They Luv Dat.” How you love that?
Video: Longshot f/ Dem Atlas – No Matter What
This song was produced by Yung Diamond, and the beat is absolutely insane. Bravo, bravo, bravo. He chopped this one up like a true pro. Here, Longshot gets busy with Rhymesayers Entertainment’s Dem Atlas for the bouncy “No Matter What.” Exquisite lyricism from both emcees. This will land on Long’s upcoming mixtape, Black Chad Vol.1, due…
Westside Flee – Attitude Era
Produced New Dersey Beats I’m a child of the Attitude Era. I’m a student of the Attitude Era. And tonight, we’re taking it back to the Monday Night Wars. What side are you on? You Dubya C Dubya? Or rolling with RAW is WAR? You claiming nWo or DX? That’s a tough choice and was…
Y.E. Ali f/ Charlie $tardom, Pizzle & T. Bruce – All I Do

Cago Leek x Lil Durk – T’d Up (Remix)
Produced by 3700 Sicko Mobb affiliate, Cago Leek, has a bit of a hit on his hands with “T’d Up” — a record that’s been tearing up his native Westside throughout the summer. In fact, the record was bubbling so hard that Lil Durk heard it and decided to add his very own verse to it. Yep, it…
New Project: Yung Stakks – Off My Chest
Yung Stakks has one off the hottest records in the city right now with “Stakk Money.” In my humble opinion, of course. Today, he emerges with a sort of pre-mixtape mixtape titled Off My Chest. He’s really just getting some verses off that he’s recently recorded, wrecking industry beats and giving you a handful of…
Video: Chris Crack – Obnoxioius
Directed by COLORTONE [@judeappleby & @darrylturnbow]. Produced by TMTHY TRTL The 119 Productions conglomerate put out two very ill projects earlier this summer, The CSS Pt. 1 & 2. If you missed those, shame on you. But it’s not too late. It’s never too late. Go check them out here. One of the obvious standouts is…
YP f/ Wheatie & Sunny Woodz – Don’t Know
Produced by ZenZan If you don’t like this sample, I don’t like you. Period. I’m kidding of course, but not really. Moving along, YP is back with another new slapper titled “Don’t Know.” Wheatie and Sunny Woodz are featured, and it’s smooth and tough as leather. Chicagoplayalisticmusic. I honestly don’t know why you wouldn’t check out…
