This was the object of … Continue reading Merci Magnetik – The One (New Track)
Last year, an emcee who goes by DreIzaya quietly slipped past our radar. Born lyricist no doubt, the Chicagoan drops WordsCost, a three minute spill on a broken system and the results thereof.

I have never had so … Continue reading Kaleb Mitchell (feat Sam Stan & foggieraw) – Badu (New Track)

The relationship between an emcee and producer is an intricate one indeed. Not always credited for the work they put in, without producers, this love many have for this culture would be obsolete. Chicago producer, Harmonic Sapien, keeps it short and sweet with his latest EP, Anti Social. And yes, you’ve guessed it, the inspiration behind this EP had a lot to do with him … Continue reading Harmonic Sapien – “Anti Social” (New Project)

While traveling … Continue reading Sunday Afternoon With Cali’s Kurt.is (New Track)
