Words by Andrew Jennings. Photo by @___aus10 To be honest, when I found out I was gonna interview Drayco McCoy, I was pretty amped. “Know That” was actually a squad anthem for a minute, and I’ve been bumping a lot of his other stuff for a while. For the three people who’ve actually been following my Fake Shore…
Chance has done it again. His all-star lineup has sold out the home to 2003’s all-star game. Yes, Chance’s Magnificent Coloring Day festival has officially sold out U.S. Cellular Field, and is set to break an attendance record when it goes down on September 24th. That’s around 45,000 seats. Unbelievable, right? Well, with the power of…
Despite rumors, the legendary Bump J isn’t quite free. Not yet at least. Not technically. But there’s movement. The streets are talking, and rumors are swirling. I can feel his presence looming. He’s close. He might even be watching. After eight long years, he’s about to touch the streets again. He’s ready to return for…
Haven’t we heard this before? I believe we have, but tonight at OVO Fest in Toronto, Kanye, who showed up as a surprise guest, announced to the crowd that a joint album from he and Drake is 100% in the works. Will this actually happen? Will it drop on Tidal or Apple Music? Will it…
Photo by Jake Osmun Lollapalooza 2016 has finally come to a close. Thankfully. It was a marathon weekend, now spanning four long days. Four long days filled with lines, surge pricing, inebriated zombie teenagers, people weirdly stalking Malia Obama, awesome after parties, weak after parties, real industry people and real fake industry people. It was a lot to…
Photo by @chollette Femdot (a.k.a. King Dilla) has been buzzing lately. After exploding onto the radar of the rap internet with his Fo(u)r EP, he decided to let loose his very well-received follow-up, the Thr(we) EP, last week. All this while he’s a full-time DePaul student majoring in biochemistry. Is he planning to have a studio/biochem…
In support of his Lil Durk 2X album (which you should definitely check out if you haven’t done so yet), Lil Durk stopped by Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club to chop it with DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Yee about his new album, his relationship with DeJ Loaf, his current relationship with Coke…
Photo by Anthony Hilliard Can you believe it? Drake really brought out Ye last night at his Summer 16 tour stop at the United Center. I’ve been doing this a while, and I haven’t seen someone bring out Kanye since Jay Z’s American Gangster 24-hour tour stop at the House of Blues in 2007, where…
Words by Andrew Jennings. Photos by Sam Schmieg. This is the second edition of my recurring feature on Fake Shore Drive, and this time I interviewed producer Thelonious Martin. We discuss the people in his life who’ve influenced him music-wise and beyond. Dude’s produced stuff for Action Bronson, Curren$y, Joey Bada$$, Mac Miller, Vic Mensa, Retch,…
For the past few years, Four Loko has been bringing Chicago some of the most exciting post-festival music events, but with this year’s lineup, they’ve truly outdone themselves. THIS Friday, July 29th and Saturday, July 30th, Four Loko and FSD will join forces to host two of the most epic parties of the festival weekend. All…
