Oh yeah, here’s another one of those unreleased Lupe gems I promised [**trying to act like it’s not a big deal**] Man, I don’t know about you guys, but I love hearing this side of Lupe. Almost like a lost member of the Clipse or something. He really should release some sort of “street album”…

Big props to Becca the Promo Mami for sending over.

Ivy League has just been churning out the material lately. This Tony Baines-produced track samples the Tribe’s classic, “Clap Your Hands” (this may not register for some of you youngin’s). Props to Mr. Jay ILLa for sending over. Ivy League – “Pusha Man”

You know, since I try to keep with the “All Chicago” theme, I rarely take it upon myself to post music from other regions. Well, Spree recently teamed up with his mentor (see, it’s…
