Yung Berg – the rapper you love to hate. Over the past few years, the Yung’in has quickly risen to stardom, but what a lot of people don’t know, is that Berg has been putting in work for almost a decade. Once signed to the Chi-City outfit, Infared Music, and later enjoying a brief stint…

Lupe Fiasco feat. Stack Bundles – “I Keep it Gutter Like”
Fake Shore Drive = the gift that keeps on giving. It seems the vaults just keep emptying our way. You have to be enjoying this, right? I recently got my hands on some unreleased Lupe material, and as I’m doing with the Go Getters stuff, I’m going to release it sporadically. Some big names involved…
Video: Kanye West – “Flashing Lights” (Version 1)
Wow, now that’s the “Flashing Lights” video I wanted to see! Best version so far, in my opinion. Back when I commented that the screengrab that Eskay posted looked like an outtake from the 1987-smash-hit-movie Monster Squad (don’t hate, Rudy was dat dude), I wasn’t far off.

After the interview Twista, Liffy Stokes and GMG’s latest signee Skooda were nice enough to give me a couple drops and…
Video: Lupe Fiasco Introduces He Say She Say to Chicago
At Friday’s edition of the Glow In The Dark Tour in Chicago, I was able to sneak my camera in (sorry Kanye) and get a bit of footage. My favorite being the portion of Lupe’s set where he introduced Million $ Mano & Drea, otherwise known as the duo of He Say She Say, to…
