A few weeks ago, the good folks at Mountain Dew and Complex Magazine hit Chicago to speak with some of the figures within the music and art communities as part of Mountain Dew’s This Is How We Do Chicago campaign.

THHP Interviews Michael Rapaport; Chicago Dates For Tribe Documentary
Cosm Roks got a chance to speak with one of hip-hop’s most polarizing figures as of late, Michael Rapaport, on his THHP radio show, which aired on 88.7 FM Saturday night. I know Mike and Phife were in Chicago two weeks ago promoting the film, so I believe it was recorded around then, prior to…
The Best of #BoozerBars
In the wee hours of this morning, I received an email from Twista’s camp with his brand new Bulls anthem attached, “Winning Streak”, which boasted a feature from former (er…current?) Bad Boy crooner Mario Winans, that premiered at the United Center during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Somewhat surprised, I went back to sleep to…

If not, the concept is simple: 20+ tracks given to the DJ. Said DJ mixes, sequences, cuts, adds and then dominates. No tracklist. No…
@FakeShoreDrive Mix Vol. 2 – 10/13/10
So we dropped the first @FakeShoreDrive mix two weeks ago, kind of as an experiment. No tracklist, no information on songs, no nothing. Just a file and a cover. Hell, the file was one large Mp3 – forget individual tracks. And I know you didn’t know the DJ. The result? Overwhelmingly positive. Phone calls, texts, comments…
@FakeShoreDrive Mix Vol. 1 – 9/30/10
Mixed by DJ Nati Kid I know what you’re thinking. Wow, what an original title! I know, I know – it took me all week to think of it. [*pats self on back*] Anyhoo, I’m starting a new series here on the site where I toss a DJ a handful of tracks – some new,…
