Kenny Keys from the All Natural camp, who is also ½ of the group Eulorhythmics (with emcee Adad) blessed the world with a free download of the first installment of his Lost Beat Tape series. Kenny is classically trained on the keys, so he’s obviously super nice. Check out some of his work on the…

Preview: Mic Terror Responds to S.O.U.L. Purpose
I told you last week someone’s feelings were going to get hurt. Yesterday, Chicago’s Mic Terror wrapped his video for his response to S.O.U.L. Purpose’s “Plan A” which was a diss towards “hipster” rappers The Cool Kids and Jay Electronica. Mazzi of S.O.U.L. Purpose later claimed the diss towards Chuck and Mikey was only an…
Lady Twist from Miss Rap Supreme Speaks!
Since VH1 decided not to air an episode of Miss Rap Supreme this evening (for reasons unbeknownst to me), I figured we’d give you some MRS content of our own. Last week, after Chicago’s Lady Twist was unfairly and unjustly booted from the program, I did a write-up in honor of our fallen Windy City…
Video: Kidz In The Hall feat. El-P – “Drivin’ Down The Block (Remix)” LIVE
@ Webster Hall. Already performing this one live? Damn, that was fast. By the way, if you’re in NYC on May 20th you may want to stop by SOB’s for their album release party/live performance. Enough with NYC already, when are you guys returning to the Go? Spotted via Grandgood
Mixtape: Jay ILLa – Go IL or Go Home

N.E.R.D. feat. Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pusha T – “Everyone Nose” (Remix)
Kanye just posted a copy of the N.E.R.D. remix to “Everyone Nose” featuring Kanye, Lupe Fiasco and Pusha Ton. I thought I was going to be “Rick Rolled” when I clicked on the track, but turns out this is legit. Enjoy. Dopeness. Edit: Welp, that was fast. Shout to LupeEnd for sending over. N.E.R.D. feat….
Video: Kenna in the Studio with Lupe Fiasco & The Cool Kids
Power pop artist and the man behind one of my favorite albums of 2007, Kenna, hit the studio with two major Chicago artists to record remixes to his Make Sure They See My Face. It appears Jesse over at Dubfrequency put this together (shout to Jesse, by the way), but I just spotted this over…
Album Review: Kidz In The Hall – The In Crowd
Duck Down Records/Major League Entertainment, 2008 The Kidz In The Hall return with their sophomore project, The In Crowd, via Duck Down Records. Buzz for this project has been gaining momentum for months, stretching from the hipster, to backpack to TRL crowd. Do they live up to the hype and pass the test, or are…
