Whoa. The classic hip-hop and R&B terrestrial radio format has quite literally been sweeping the nation over the past few years. Markets big and small across the US have been swapping formats to great results and bigger ratings. In fact, it’s been an absolute head-scratcher that Chicago had yet to join the party. However, that…

And just like that, they’re back. Naledge. Double-0. 11 years ago, this duo burst on the scene with their Rawkus Records debut, School Was My Hustle. They later joined Duck Down for three releases: The In Crowd, Land of Make Believe and Occasion, but they’ve been working on solo endeavors since 2011 (they did drop…

I’ve made no secret of my affinity for Sada Baby — one of my favorite new artists at the moment. Delivery, charisma, beat choice, flow — this guy truly has the sauce. So it goes without saying that I’ve been impatiently waiting for his new 17-track project, D.O.N. If you were at our 10 year…
Last year, Chano and ‘Mih connected to give us the best Christmas gift of all time: a Christmas album. The duos Holiday opus, Merry Christmas Lil’ Mama, shook things up last year, and rumor has it they’re coming back for part two this year — in the form of a full album. Oh really? On…
Produced by Deka Derse Griff is back with a new video presentation. This one from the Folklore sessions. This one features the storied Chicago emcee on some artsy fartsy shit, just lampin’ at some fancy gallery. It’s the perfect locale to slug down some Pinot. Crack a bottle below.
Produced by D. Brooks Exclusive. This is fire, wow. Not that I wouldn’t expect it to be with a lineup like this. Chicago’s Free Brandz representative, Zona Man, went crazy by enlisting Future and the Chicago legend Bumpy Johnson to appear on the same track. They definitely warm this cold world on “Cold World.” D….
Produced by Getem Louie & Bilbo Beatz The Westside superstars unite for DLow’s brand new single, “Too Young.” Yep, the Sicko Mobb duo are back down alongside Stunt and they definitely run it up for their side of town on this one.
