R&B crooner Slique has been getting some nationwide attention lately with his video being added into rotation on VH1 Soul and MTV.com.   I just got my hands on a track he put together with El Che and and Terry Hunter and figured you’d be interested in checking it out. Slique feat. Rhymefest – “Not…

Produced by Grant Parks. What a daunting list!  Ha!  Seriously though, that’s an official Chi-Town lineup if I’ve ever seen one.  You even have the blastmasta himself, Kris Parker, leading things off. This is another banger from Grant Park’s upcoming album, Thall Shall Not Hate: A Change Has Come 3, dropping on January 20, 2009….

As if Cayex wasn’t already nice enough to give you a free LP full of album-worthy material, he returns with Nothin’ But Profit: The Overs, an EP of the stuff that didn’t make Nothin’ But Profit. Here’s the first leak, which is entitled “I’m Yo Pusha” Cayex Illah – “I’m Yo Pusha”

Pronounced Audacity. Something else from his Fresh out the Box (The Shark Tape).  The release party for the mixtape/album is tonight at the Darkroom, so if you’re in the neighborhood, stop by.   Awd, Pugs, Decay and Phillip Morris will all be performing. Awdazcate – “Oh Darling”

The Kidz stopped by BET’s Rap City The Deal for some tea and crumpets last week. Naledge snaps while Double O (and his new doo) snaps the drums. Shouts to Naledge!

RH jumps in the studio with Naledge Born.

Sean just sent over these flicks from the Bun B show in Chicago on Tuesday evening.  Unfortunately, I was tied up at another other event and was unable to attend – and I must admit, I’m kicking myself now.  Lupe just so happened to be in town and stopped by the Metro to join Bernard for…
