FSD Feature: Who Runs The Show?
Words by Ryan Chandler (@NayrRyChi) It takes a lot to be a successful hip-hop artist — a Chicago one at that. The creative process, costly studio time, and pesky politics can all get in the way. But there’s one thing that truly sets some artists apart from others, and it’s their ability to put on a show. Performing…

Mick Jenkins Announces Nationwide Tour
Over the course of the past year, Mick Jenkins has stayed on tour, hitting select markets across the country. I do believe this is his third nationwide run.

Words by Mosh (@CMosh2) Last Wednesday, XXL dropped their highly anticipated 2015 Freshman cover, and we were all hoping for another class similar to 2014, but instead, got possibly the most disappointing class yet.

Watch Mick Jenkins Decode “P’s & Q’s”
Mick Jenkins’ “P’s & Q’s” is one of the dopest lyrical exercises of 2015. There’s no debating that. The video even elevated the track to another level, but one thing’s for sure: you couldn’t catch everything he spit on that first listen. Or the second. And probably not the third. Well, Mick comes to the…
