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…

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…
Bump J – Roof Back (Prod. by No ID)
I hate to be one who goes to the well once too often, but due to the overwhelming response (I guess people like when I do some actually writing around here, huh?) of the Bump J & No ID track “Letter 2 My Competition”, I thought it was only right to explore another one of…
Bump J – Letter 2 My Competition (Prod. by No ID)
“Nas said Hip Hop is Dead, Wayne said he’s the best alive, they must’ve thought I died, but hey, here’s a Letter To My Competition, P.S. I’m still here, Truly Yours – the opposition” One record that was featured on the Bump J x MoonDawg mixtape, Remember Me, that I felt needed it’s own post,…
Mixtape: Bump J x DJ MoonDawg – Remember Me
Presented by The Aphilliates/Get In Tune Music Group/Goon Squad Records/Boardmemberz It’s been a very long time since we’ve heard some new Bump J material, but best believe that the Chief of Chicago has a plethora of unreleased and never-before-heard music. Unreleased joints produced by Kanye West, Sha Money XL, Mel Man, Jelly Roll, Boardmemberz and…
