Before we get started, how about we kick off today with some Friday facts. Pop-punk is the new wave in rap right now, and Ju AND Melo have both been on that. Ju dropped that Moon & Ju project almost three years ago, and that’s where his sound was headed. Today, two of the freshest…
On July 24th & 25th, J. Cole returns to Chicago for two nights of his ‘4 Your Eyez Only’ tour at the United Center. This is major. Back to back at the Madhouse on Madison? He’s only one of a few artists who can pull off such a feat — so we suggest you grab…
The promo is in full swing for Vic’s debut album, The Autobiography, which drops via Roc Nation/Capitol Records on July 28th. Last night, he held a listening session in LA where he was joined by the likes of Jay-Z, Scooter Braun and No I.D. This morning, he emerges with a new release — this one…
Directed by Good Traffic. Produced by @prodkishie. Monster Mike has always been on some other shit and today he’s TRULY on some other shit with his new video for “We Need That.” It’s hazy, it’s druggy, it’s bugged the f*ck out. In typical Monster Mike, of course. Kishie did the beat. Leave earth with this…
Produced by Jhon Myquale and Eddie Burns New York City to Chicago transplant Jhon Myquale returns with a quick meditative joint.

This appears to be just another loosie, but here’s hoping he drops something more substantial…
This one will give you the feels. Taylor has a new tape on the way — one where he tackles a number of industry instrumentals. He just kicked it off with his thought-provoking spin on Kendrick’s “Feel.” Who is praying for us? Taylor is. And we pray for him as well. Let this one be…
Produced by Dougy New Kingz who? The duo of Ali and Sly Luke have returned under a new name, and some amped up sounds. The two are as excellent together as ever and look to be taking no prisoners with the rebrand. Word has it we can also expect something of a bit more substantial…
CHXPO got down with Ballout for the sure fire “Die Young” video. Even Chief Sosa makes a cameo. Filmed on location on the Left Coast, “Die Young” is quite easy on the ears. This one goes, for sure. Check it out now.
Dracyo and Mulatto. Sounds like a match made in heaven, no? Both artists are on the verge of skyrocketing to another place, and today they do so on their aptly titled track “Sky Rocket.” No word on when or where this will drop, but do know that Mulatto’s debut project is do out any minute…
Directed by Emmet Kilmer Want Money? Need Check. Chuck & Sir Mike let off this shot earlier this week, and as promised the video impacted today. The result? Pure flame. In the crosshairs here are the City of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, and the lack of funding for CPS students. Oh, and a nod to the…
