DJ Vadim f/ Pugs Atomz, Psalm One, ShowYouSuck, Qwazaar, Ill Legit & Thaione- This DJ (Chicago Flex)
Produced by DJ Vadim Take your idea of a posse cut, then feed it after midnight (a’la Gremlins), pour water on it, then main-line it steroids. For a week. I’m pretty sure you’d end up with this “This DJ (Chicago Flex),” posse cut. The verses aren’t the longest, but the artists jump in, spit and…
On The Set: Lil Bibby f/ T.I. – Boy
Bibby’s been busy. After cooking up a video for “We Are Strong” with Kevin Gates in the ATL a few days ago, Bibby kept the productiveness rolling right along and started working on a video for the T.I.-assisted “Boy” yesterday. “Boy” was one of my favorites from Free Crack 2, so I’m glad to see…

Video: Logan – My Religion
Directed by J Krown. Produced by Flight. I must say, I love this new trend of rappers dropping new videos and/or songs on their birthdays. It should be a requirement — plus it lets the people know to reach out and wish them a HBD. That being said, tonight we have the world premiere of…

Big Ish Lo f/ Tree – Salutin’
Produced by Tree Salute me or mute me (c) Ty. This joint is too dope. Project Mayhem member Big Ish Lo grabs frequent collaborator Tree for his new single, “Salutin.” No hook, just straight bars on this one — from two high caliber Chi City emcees. Gotta salute ’em for this.
