Jordan Caesar – Rudy (Fresh New Album) (FFD Premiere)
Rudy is Jordan Caesar’s magnum opus. It is a body of work that can truly excel the scope, sound, style and understanding of hip hop. This is innovative music at its very finest. A traditional write up is not only a disservice to the album, but also not applicable. As I sat down to write…

Why Isn’t Azizz & lifeofsaeed’s New Song DREAMS Not On The Charts???
Azizz · Storm Hold up…why isn’t DREAMS on the Apple Music and Spotify charts? Oh yeah, nowadays if you don’t have a big name or feature attached to a song it goes in the trash. Isn’t even considered. This practice continues to get worse and worse, and makes me angrier by the year. See, Azizz’s…

MPULSE – FEELINGS (New Music Video)
I have known Mpulse since 2016. I don’t need any accolades…but the fact that I’ve posted him 23 times (starting off with his inclusion on my list of best loosies in 2016) makes this song and video heartbreaking. How frustrating would it be to undertake a 52-week campaign (in 2017) dropping a new song every…

Chicago’s Own Loovy Enjoys Summertime Chi In Latest Music Video, ‘I Do This’
Two years ago, Chicago’s Loovy hit our pages with an impressive visual and song titled Glory. I spoke on his energy, his ability to evoke emotion, and his unique style.

Chicago’s Own Dav Paris Digs Deep on Incomparable New Music Video ‘SOMEDAY’S (I GOT ISSUES)
It is impossible to put Chicago writer, rapper and vocalist Dav Paris inside of a box. When discussing music, it’s almost too easy to attach someone’s sound to a particular genre or label it as such and such. Even if I spent hours writing about his latest music video, SOMEDAYS (I GOT ISSUES), it is…

Aced Spade – BNW (New Track) (FFD Premiere)
Aced Spade can do it all. Produce, make instrumental projects, and flip well known tracks into, what sounds like, a totally new track altogether. This is the case with his latest, BNW (Brand New Whip). He’s taken Lil Baby & Drake’s Yes Indeed and added an ethereal, woozy, vibe-heavy element that is far from the…

Aasha Marie – WYWS (New Album) (FFD Premiere)
A week ago I sat down with the gifted Chicago artist Aasha Marie to learn the in’s and out’s of her artistry, background, and motivation for making music. It became clear through early listens to her new album, and a long backlog of texts that this singer, poet, emcee, and all around creative was ready…
