Photographer Spotlight: Cia Gambino
Since the inception of flowsfordays, we’ve been interested in covering artists outside of music. It’s taken some time to make it happen, but we’ve started off right with Cia Gambino. Through my always informative Twitter feed, I was introduced to Cia. Dope Chicago rapper Squeakpivot (if I remember correctly) retweeted a 4 picture collage of Cia’s…

Josh K – Black Balloon (New Project)
After dropping off a few loosies with Chicago staples such as King Louie, Chicago crooner Josh K has released his full length LP Black Balloon. It was definitely worth the wait. I’ve written about how stale r&b has become and how hard it is (personally) to stick with a track, let alone a full album.…

Mpulse – Start It Over (New Track)
Mpulse’s winning streak is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before from an emcee. In week 13 of his 52 week series he drops off a more heartfelt track in Start It Over. The song is entirely self produced (which happens often) and speaks on the music industry that can often be a fickle business (for…

His newest offering, CHNLS has his signature sound containing breezy vocals…

femdot. – to(u). (New EP + Extensive Review)
femdot.’s debut project femdelacreme was my introduction to the young emcee. I lost touch with his music as he dropped the king dilla EP, but jumped right back in with fo(u)r. I wasn’t expecting three more releases…and that they would all be connected. 2016 has been his year as thr(we). hit us in the summer. We’ve just gotten another EP…

Ajani is the new featured artist on the award winning Columbia College Chicago record label AEMPP. He’s taken a different approach to his music career this time around and it’s been working very well…

Mpulse – Denial (New Track)
Mpulse. Back again. Any surprises here? Week 12 has given us a song titled Denial with production from frequent (and solid) collaborator, Keef Boyd. Mpulse can body any track and exhibit any flow, and he switches it up once again with this one. Not much else I can say on Mpulse as he delivers every…
