Kris Leshaun – Calamari (New EP)
The intro to the Calamari EP is totally worth playing all the way through. It’s a conversation Kris Leshaun is having with an un-accounted for individual about his work ethic and his hope that he’ll meet new people that will share his drive in the music industry. Even if he goes it alone I have no doubt…

LyriQ The Mi$FiT – Sweater Weather (Ode To Love) (New Track)
West Side of Chicago’s LyriQ The Mi$FiT hit our pages back in November with an excellent song titled Wake Up Call. We truly enjoyed it…and we are happy to feature his newest cut Sweater Weather.

Zip Dot – #FreeX + Top (New Tracks)
Chicago artist Zip Dot has been on a winning streak. He’s been dropping banger after banger doing huge numbers. Blogs have picked up on his talent as he’s gotten an exclusive premiere for Top (Mindset Music) and #FreeX (Illanoize). My favorite cut of these two is definitely #FreeX, which is an ode to currently incarcerated popular…

Mpulse – Actions (New Track)

Hittz, Smylez + Killa Kellz – Pay For It (Video)
Hittz, Smylez + Killa Kellz link up for a hard hitting new visual titled Pay For It. There is a high amount of energy that is equally matched by the video directed by Ogun Pleas Films. There is even some archived footage of Smylez since he passed. Smylez was a promising artist and producer out of Chicago, and his…

Koz-B – The Greyz (Video)
Getting this submission from Koz-B was a blessing. He just dropped the official music video to his single The Greyz and I’m all about it. He evokes his inner demon and isn’t scared to be different. I usually dread listening to a 6 minute song but it was easy to get through and quiet enjoyable. Koz…
