10/10/10 marks the third anniversary of Chicago’s first ever hip-hop blog, Fake Shore Drive. And yes, the illuminati planned it to Fall on this date. Duh. It honestly feels like we’ve been doing this longer than 3 years, but hey, three calendars it is. Thanks to all of the loyal supporters and readers who’ve helped…
Mixtape: GLC x Sean Mac – Best of the ISM
*ISM* Gangsta L and The Kid Sean Mac link to present a collection of GLC’s greatest hits with the Best of the ISM. I can attest that this collection is damn near perfect with the exception of “Honor Me” missing. Mac snapped on the sequence and selection, so if you’re late on GL this is…
GLC feat. Twista – Cold As Ice (Prod. by Xcel)
This will be the one and ONLY song from GLC’s Love, Life & Loyalty that I’ll be posting. This joint leaked and I feel it’s worth a look. Stream only. In May of ’09 GL shared with me an early incarnation of Love, Life & Loyalty, which has changed drastically since that time. However, this…
CRS (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell) – Don’t Stop! UPDATE: NEW MIX
So I thought CRS was just another supergroup that was never gonna see the light of day outside of one track — the incredible US Placers (as for other groups see the “new” NWA)– But Kanye has resurrected his supergroup with Lupe and Pharrell for today’s G.O.O.D. Friday drop. This isn’t on the level of Us Placers but…

Video: Waka Flocka Flame – Bustin’ At Em
Directed by Morocco Vaughn A couple of weeks ago, Flocka was in the Go to shoot a few clips for his Flockaveli album – both of which were shot at Chicago’s infamous Bread Factory. I posted a few behind-the-scenes clips, so it’s only right that I share the finished product with you, courtesy of Morocco. I got with…
Neak – Right Now x Project Jazz
Note: The post title would’ve been waaaay too long to type everyone’s name and what not, so you can read all the details below. Neak Ft. Simeon Viltz (of The Primeridian) Dee Jackson (of 80s Babies) and Trinity – Right Now I thought Neak was gonna sample Van Hagar on this one. Turns out it’s…
