Reno’s Soundtrakk-produced “I Ain’t Goin Out Like That” gets the video treatment. Enjoy.

Track numero uno from his soon-to-be-released (I promise) mixtape, Unkrowned City. Mikk’s down in ATL right now putting the finishing touches on a few projects, so stay tuned for some exciting news in the coming weeks. It very well could be his summer. “Roast in the oven/roaches runnin’ through the cupboard/roaches in the ashtray/Daddy just…

“Heavy Hitter” DJ Timbuk2 recently held down the DJ slot on BET’s Rap City. He’s reppin’ the Chi hard here – he even has a St. Alfred shirt on. Well played. Props to Marc for sending over

Details are as follows: “Running Man features 45 minutes of original music (and serves as A-Trak’s full-length…

The Kidz are still on their Euro Trip. Here they perform “Drivin’ Down The Block” to a packed house in London Town. Big props to Naledge

Another lost and forgotten Lupe Fiasco freestyle. Here he spits over Diddy’s Neptunes-assisted ode to his alias. I love the way he used to go in…He just snaps here, plain and simple. Lupe Fiasco – “Diddy (Freestyle)”

Earlier in the week I posted some footage of Mikkey Halsted in the studio (The Attic, to be exact) with a few Chicago journalists as he played some music from his upcoming album, Chicago: The Photo Album.
