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.)

It’s that time of the week again. Do remember, that if the song dropped anytime since last Friday (7/24) 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: Who Runs The Show?
Words by Ryan Chandler (@NayrRyChi) It takes a lot to be a successful hip-hop artist — a Chicago one at that. The creative process, costly studio time, and pesky politics can all get in the way.

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…
New Date Announced for Chief Keef’s Hologram Benefit Concert
Last week, a benefit concert organized by Chief Keef and his manager Alki David, was canceled by city hall due to fears of violence and potential problems with the crowd.

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.
