In honor of the Glow In The Dark Tour blowing through the Windy City this weekend, it’s only right that I share with you one of Chicago Hip Hop’s Holy Grails…. The Go-Getters/Kon Man Productions album – World Record Holders This is Kanye’s first album, which is more like a showcase demo, highlighting the talents…

Brand new Fooch exclusive, “Go Hard” (and that’s exactly what he’s doing here. Pause?). This is some vintage sounding Chi-Town right here. Produced by Fooch himself. Fooch – “Go Hard”
