Fall is peaking around the corner, actually it’s pretty much here. The temperatures are going down and the car windows are rolling up. It has been a eventful Chicago summer, and Chicagoans all over the city blast and bumped their favorite songs every chance they got.

Video: ArchDuke – Ama Be Happy
Directed by Domi V. Gary, Indiana duo ArchDuke bring the positive vibes with the official release of the video for their single, “Ama Be Happy.” The video for this joint originally surfaced earlier this summer, but it wasn’t the ‘official’ release from the duo. No need to worry, though — the time for the official…
FSD Feature: Pass Me The Aux Cord – What We Heard This Weekend [8/14 – 8/16]
Words by Ryan Chandler (@NayrRyChi) Chicago. You beautiful city you. Weekends like this is why summers in the Chi are so special. People fled to movie theaters to catch Straight Outta Compton in droves, breaking numerous records. The south side Sox and north side Cubs battled for the crosstown crown (which the Cubbies won)
FSD Feature: Pass Me The Aux Cord – What We Heard This Weekend [8/7 – 8/9]
Words by Ryan Chandler (@NayrRyChi) Summer is beginning to simmer down, and the seasons are preparing to shift gears. Chicagoans are getting out and enjoying the dog days, and their final summertime rides.

After all, that is a lot to ask of what is essentially organized noise. Never the less, I can genuinely say that Lil…

This year’s lineup included a few of our favorites like Mick Jenkins, Young Thug and DJ Mustard, but we can certainly think of a few others that we…
FSD Feature: Pass Me The Aux Cord – What We Heard This Weekend [7/31 – 8/2]
Words by Ryan Chandler (@NayrRyChi) What a weekend to be in Chicago. August started off with a bang (the third one to be exact – pun intended.) Only in Chicago could you attend Lollapalooza, laugh at Kevin Hart, catch 50 Cent shooting through the south side, and see a Vic Mensa perform atop a fire truck.
FSD Feature: Who Runs The Show?
Words by Ryan Chandler (@NayrRyChi) It takes a lot to be a successful hip-hop artist — a Chicago one at that. The creative process, costly studio time, and pesky politics can all get in the way. But there’s one thing that truly sets some artists apart from others, and it’s their ability to put on a show. Performing…
