Freddie Gibbs f/ Gucci Mane & E-40 – 10 Times
Produced by Sid ‘Speakerbomb’ Miller. Finally, it’s here. This is an obvious standout from Gibbs Shadow of a Doubt album, which drops tomorrow. Rejoice. I’ve had some time to sit with this project, and this is one of the songs I’ve continued to go back to over and over. It features a street legend and…
Sicko Mobb f/ Jay 4 – Hustler
Produced by 3700 Trav and Ceno are back, this time alongside their compadre Jay 4. This is straight hustler music set to a bouncy autotune-lined back drop. Yep, these Westside riders give us some everyday theme music as we continue to wait for their official RCA/Polo Grounds release — hopefully coming next year. Listen to…
G Herbo f/ Lil Bibby – Get 2 Bussin’
Just last week, Herbo gave us his first offering from his digital release with Red Bull Sound Select, the incredible “Lord Knows,” which featured Joey Bada$$ and was produced by Metro Boomin.

Video: Roy French – Mexico
On “Mexico,” Roy François shows you some ish you’ve never seen before. Likely somewhere out in Mexico. As you should know by now, Roy is one of the most unique voices in the local scene, and what he does to this beat is criminal. He’s definitely getting his passport revoked on this one because “Mexico”…
Video: Kembe X – Talk Back
Produced by Hippie Sabotage. Directed by Kdb & Jon Walkup. Another winner of a record from Kembe emerged last week with “Talk Back.” Now we get the video, which makes the song even better, imo. Rarely do videos do that these days, but Kembe snapped with this clip. Talk back, get smacked. And the same…
Joey Purp – Run It Up
Produced by Dimeji Faluyi It’s Purple. Lord Purp has returned with a inspired new joint he’s calling “Run It Up,” and he definitely runs up the score with this one. SaveMoney has been on a crazy run as of late, and one of our longtime favorites is embarking on a solo set once again. It’s…
Video: G Count f/ Black Ralphy’L – Bargain With The Devil
Directed by @ishotdat & @j_spealz Sometimes surviving the treacherous streets of Chicago can feel like you’ve made a deal with the devil.
