Produced by UG Vavy James Cam’Ron has been carving a path for himself in Chicago’s scene lately, proving that he can tackle multiple sub-genres in rap, such as in “Rick James Cam’Ron”, last week’s “trap lullaby” offering. Today, on his FSD debut, he taps UG Vavy for a personal spin on the style popularized by…

Check out Chief Keef link with Audiomack for an orchestral version of “Faneto”
Drill. Orchestra. Some genre combinations we never see coming but make perfect sense afterwards. This is the case with Chief Keef joining forces with a 6-piece orchestra for a crazy rendition of “Faneto” as part of Audiomack’s Trap Symphony series. Keef once again proves his versatility and natural instinct as an artist as he seamlessly makes a…
Smino drops off his sophomore album, ‘NØIR’
Just over a week after announcing, Smino has let loose NØIR, the follow up to last year’s blkswn. The St. Louis artist was fairly light on new material between the two projects, and that makes his growth even more stated here. It’s the same half midwest/half country soul, but refined and perfected. Smi’s truly in…
Smino is back with another banger called “KLINK”
Produced by Monte Booker Some things in life are constant. Taxes, the order of seasons, and the SminoMonte Booker team creating fire. “KLINK,” the newest proof of that last concept, is here if my point needed to be made. Zilch Season seems to have came into effect in a cold snap this time as after only…
Tee Grizzley taps Chance the Rapper for “Wake Up”
Produced by J. Gramm Detroit’s own Tee Grizzley once again makes the Chicago connection and links with Chance the Rapper for a new anthem all about positivity. Now there’s a team-up I didn’t see coming. It’s a meshing of two very different styles to come together over common doctrines, and it works. This one is…

Rockie Fresh returns with “No Satisfaction”, announces new deal with Rostrum Records
Rockie Fresh has kept a low profile since the release of his “The Night I Went To…” EP series a couple years ago. That quiet period has come to the end with a brand new record that shows Rockie hasn’t lost a step. In addition, Rockie announced that he’s inked a deal with indie label Rostrum…
Stream Jean Deaux’s new ‘Krash’ album
Despite being one of Chicago’s mainstays for several years now, Jean Deaux has been relatively quiet, periodically resurfacing to drop off an exceptional loosie. Today she rearrives in full force with Krash, her first full-length since 2014’s Soular System. Although that project was nothing to sneeze at, I think it’s fair to say that Krash is Jean’s…
WastedJu wants you to “just feel better”
WastedJu went into radio silence mode for awhile, but today he makes his return and as expected, he’s used the time away to dive further into the experimental. It’s hard to put Ju into a particular lane, and that’s part of the fun of seeing where exactly he’s gonna go with it next. Hopefully “just…
Solo Sam drops off Stripmall-directed “Breezin & Coolin” video
Directed by Stripmall If Solo Sam isn’t on your radar, allow us to point out your tweaking. After releasing his ITIS EP earlier this year, he went quiet on the release front. Until today that is. Sam links up with Stripmall, who really have been everywhere lately, for a crazy new visual. Sam is really…
