I was finally able to link up with Que B.I.L.L.A.H. (after all this time) as I felt he hadn’t received the proper shine he deserved on FSD.  He’s currently in the lab working on some new material, including a heavy collabo with one of the ‘Go’s hottest acts.  Que was nice enough to share this…

Here’s a brand new joint from the latest signee to Twista’s Get Money Gang imprint, Chicago’s very own, Skooda Chose. This is the first leak from his upcoming DJ Green Lantern-hosted mixtape, Top 5 Material – “Sets” Skooda Chose – “Sets”

First & Fifteenth’s Bishop G comes through with a brand new banger for the FSD readers, “The Truth Part 2”. I’ve been patiently waiting on some solo heat from Bishop – and I’m feeling this one for sure. Bishop G – “The Truth Pt. 2”

The accolades and rewards just keep building for Naledge and Double-O as their Eric B & Rakim-influenced banger “The Blackout” was selected by EA Sports for a spot on the soundtrack for the 20th Anniversary Edition of the highest selling video game franchise of all time – Madden NFL 2009.

So I’ve been chopping it up with Mike Treese (of Mass Hysteria) lately, and badgering him to send me some of the goodies from his classic Chicago Hip Hop stash (it’s heavy), and he just sent me this rare freestyle he *taped* (what you know about that?) from Kevin Beachum’s WNUR radio show back in…

The Yung’in discusses his beef with Brisco on Lip Service. Who knew that Flo Rida/hairline comment would have so much shelf life?

Alright, I figured I’d try something different around here, and create weekly column that not only involves you – the readers, but also the aspiring emcees out there who are trying to get their music featured on Fake Shore Drive. I do get plenty of submissions, and I profusely apologize to anyone out there that…

And you guys thought Mic was just a battle rapper? Please. Mic is one of the nicest emcees in the city, and you can quote me on that one. DKDC on what you think. He takes this Million $ Mano beat to the house. From his upcoming mixtape, King of the New School. Mic Terror…

The homie Gzus just hit me with a copy of his latest album/mixtape, Rent Money, which he is offering up to the world for free download (what a guy!) Hosted by Ray Protégé, the album features a slew of unreleased material and goodies. Enjoy. Download a FREE copy here. 1.Rent Money intro2.Lose ya soul (prod…
