Rockie Fresh has kept a low profile since the release of his “The Night I Went To…” EP series a couple years ago. That quiet period has come to the end with a brand new record that shows Rockie hasn’t lost a step. In addition, Rockie announced that he’s inked a deal with indie label Rostrum…
We’re mere days away from the release of Mick Jenkins awesomely titled, Pieces of A Man project. We’ve been waiting. Patiently. And as word and samples of the project continue to trickle out, Mick gives us two haymakers in the form of “Barcelona” and “Padded Locks” featuring GHOSTFACE KILLAH!! (WTF, that’s amazing) So yeah, Mick…
It’s three the hard way in today’s world premiere video. Yes, Lil Moni makes his FSD debut alongside Taylor Bennett and Forever Band for the “Tonight” video, which follows the trio throughout the city as they enjoy high-rise pools, fishbowl condos, parties and black car service. Yep, it’s just an average day in the…
On the eve of the 10 year anniversary of The Cool Kids historic and monumental debut, The Bake Sale, the duo has revisited their biggest hit, “Black Mags,” with the official sequel. Hey, 10 years later. Better late than never. This is the part deux we never knew was coming, but was always needed. Not…
Despite being one of Chicago’s mainstays for several years now, Jean Deaux has been relatively quiet, periodically resurfacing to drop off an exceptional loosie. Today she rearrives in full force with Krash, her first full-length since 2014’s Soular System. Although that project was nothing to sneeze at, I think it’s fair to say that Krash is Jean’s…
WastedJu went into radio silence mode for awhile, but today he makes his return and as expected, he’s used the time away to dive further into the experimental. It’s hard to put Ju into a particular lane, and that’s part of the fun of seeing where exactly he’s gonna go with it next. Hopefully “just…
After some Instagram teasers + a single released earlier this week, there was a lot of hype around a joint project between Future and Juice WRLD. With features from Young Scooter, Young Thug, Lil Wayne, Young Bans, Gunna + Nicki Minaj — and Wheezy doing the bulk of the producing — expectations are high. Definitely…
Josh Young a.k.a. J2K a.k.a. YehMe2 has been putting it down for years. I’ve seen him work his magic on the scene alongside Flosstradmus and now as a solo artist. So when he wanted to remix Valee and Jeremih’s hit “Womp Womp,” it was only right to pass the torch. It’s a fact that he’s…
We on fire. It’s scorching hot on this side, as Chicago’s own UG Vavy drops off his blazing new project, Inferno. Too hot handle, indeed. The project is 14 tracks deep and is solely produced by UG himself. No features, no problem. Yeah he handled this entire thing for dolo. It doesn’t get much hotter…
On 11/15, one of rap’s most exciting new talents, Playboi Carti, hits Chicago’s famed Aragon Ballroom for a one-night only takeover. Yes, Carti has come a long way since we did his first Chicago show with him back in 2016. From the Double Door to the Aragon — yeah that’s a lot of movement in…
