Produced by Stefan Ponce, Smoko Ono, Kanye West & Mike Dean It’s here! Looks like it’s officially Vic Mensa season, as this brand new one featuring his big homie Yeezus is about to shake up the game. It’s too late to be mad, it’s already happened. So you might as well turn that frown upside…
Fetty Wap was in Chicago for a few days this week for promo and a show, and while in the Windy City, Fetty took some time out of his schedule to link with King Louie to record a new joint for Louie’s long-awaited project, Drilluminati 3. Not much is known about the record, but keep…
Well, this is definitely going to get the chatter started. I’d heard Spike Lee was recently in Chicago meeting with people about a movie chronicling the streets of Chicago, but didn’t know it was going to actually be called ‘Chiraq’ — which appears to be the working title.

It appears the former Roc Boys will also be diving back into music, as GLC announced the pair will be executive producing his new album, The Book Of Ism. Wow, now that’s been…
