I was talking with Emmac and Sly Polaroid a few nights ago, and an O.G., fully shrink-wrapped copy of Welcome To Grimmyville Vol. 1, had just popped up in the studio. It was almost like an ancient artifact had just appeared out of thin air. We talked about how most of Bump and the Goon…

Mikkey Halsted feat. Bump J, Bun B, Killer Mike, Crooked I, Chip Tha Ripper, Mistah Fab & Gillie Da Kid – Runnin’ My City
Uh oh. Earlier today, WBMZ Radio unleashed the SC-produced “Runnin’ My City”, featuring the lost Bump J verse. And as you can imagine, Bump splits it wide open. Remind me to tell you that story one day. Ha! Funny enough, I’ve been talking to Bump on almost a daily basis as of late, getting the…
Video: Bump J – Me That’s Who
This video was mysteriously upped to YouTube a little over a month ago, and was brought to my attention just now. I believe it’s completely unreleased, or was possibly featured on some sort of street DVD that dropped in the mid-aughts. All I know is that I’ve never seen it, so forgive me if you have….

Video: Bump J x Sly Polaroid – Lost Goon Squad Interview [2005]
When I told you a few days ago that Will Gates was the gatekeeper of the lost Chicago footage, I wasn’t playing around. As you may or may not know, Will used to make the Chicago Version DVDs that flooded the streets of Chicago in the mid-aughts. These DVD prominently featured the Goon…

It’s a story that Leonard Harris has been working on for 10+ years and is now getting the chance to share it with the rest of world. After deals with Sony and G.O.O.D. Music and offers…
Bump J – Streets Locked (Move Around Pt. 1)
You can ask Cayex, I’m a mess, a beast … Welcome to the final installment of Best of Bump Week. I thoroughly enjoyed this project and had a helluva time doing it, not to mention being able to reconnect with some folks I hadn’t spoken to in a while, and putting some classic music back…
Bump J feat. Sly Polaroid – Goon Squad Anthem
There’s no way I could do a Best of Bump Week and not include Johnson’s #1 partner in crime, Sly Polaroid. A few years ago it was undeniable that these two were quite possibly the most menacing MCs in the City, and had the streets locked down. Collaborations such as “Streetz”, “Top This (with Kanye…
Bump J feat. Payroll – I Can Handle It (Remix) [Prod. by Cayex Illah]
[Remix/No DJ/CDQ/Unreleased] Today’s pick was a bit unexpected, as I had something totally different planned for Wednesday of Bump week. However, I was chatting with rapper/producer extraordinaire and close friend of Bump J, Cayex Illah, and he blessed me with something exclusive. Rewind 2+ years ago to the release of Bump’s last *official* mixtape, Dinner…
Bump J – Send Him Off (Twista Diss) x Damn Girl feat. Twista & Jagged Edge
Yesterday, diehard Chicago music fan and friend of FSD, Professor Pickle, hit me on Twitter and requested that I keep up the Bump J posts for the rest of the week. An FSD “Best of Bump” week, if you will. He suggested I post something new/old/unreleased/rare or just a track I really enjoyed; so I…
