It’s that time of the week again. Do remember, that if the song dropped anytime since last Friday (7/31) it’s eligible for the list. Now we aren’t saying these are the BEST songs of the week, but they are the staff’s faves and joints you can catch us bumping in the office.

FSD Feature: Why Isn’t This On The Radio
Words by Carlos Arrieta (@LOSO.70) Sometimes you hear a song that changes your life. I don’t mean anything grandiose such as the song will alter your behavior or your point of view of the world. After all, that is a lot to ask of what is essentially organized noise. Never the less, I can genuinely say that Lil…
FSD Feature: 16 Artists We’d Like To See At Lollapalooza 2016
Words by Ty Howard (@someguynamedty) Time really flies. Lollapalooza 2015 is already over and before you know it, we’ll all be gearing up for next year’s festival. This year’s lineup included a few of our favorites like Mick Jenkins, Young Thug and DJ Mustard, but we can certainly think of a few others that we…
FSD Feature: Pass Me The Aux Cord – What We Heard This Weekend [7/31 – 8/2]
Words by Ryan Chandler (@NayrRyChi) What a weekend to be in Chicago. August started off with a bang (the third one to be exact – pun intended.) Only in Chicago could you attend Lollapalooza, laugh at Kevin Hart, catch 50 Cent shooting through the south side, and see a Vic Mensa perform atop a fire truck.

The #FutureHive is Real – A Recap of Future’s Free Chicago Show
Photo by Tito G (@gotit_lens) I haven’t seen this much hype for a Chicago rap concert in a long time. The two nights of Watch The Throne at the United Center in 2011 comes to mind. As does Drake’s infamous first-ever Chicago show in 2009 (read about that crazy night here). These were both events that…
FSD Feature: Pass Me The Aux Cord – What We Heard This Weekend [7/17 – 7/19]
Words by Ryan Chandler (@NayrRyChi) What a weekend in Chicago. After weeks of hesitation, summertime weather finally made a tardy arrival. Chicagoans got out in the hot and muggy temperatures, popped out at Pitchfork, bumped Future’s DS2, and kicked it at North Avenue Beach as the sun and storms went back and forth.

We caught up with Oreo to talk future events (like his very own Oreofest), his humble beginnings, EDM, footworking…
