  • FAMOU$ – You Ain’t Twin (Video)

    FAMOU$ – You Ain’t Twin (Video)

    I listened to You Ain’t Twin from FAMOU$ when it dropped a few weeks ago. I enjoyed it; but I decided to pass. He sent me the official music video this morning and now I have no idea what I was thinking. The video definitely enhances the song thanks to videographer Pat Banahan (Of Lost TV…

  • Malcolm London – OPIA (New Album)

    Malcolm London – OPIA (New Album)

    You know those albums that just make you feel good? It’s like sunlight in an otherwise stormy string of mixtapes, albums and tracks. Stormy in the sense of emotionless lyrics, booming production, and every song sounding the same. There is a big time and place for that (and as I’ve written before I’m very drawn to that…

  • Mpulse – 1 of 1 (New Track)

    Mpulse – 1 of 1 (New Track)

    Chicago native Mpulse has been on the scene for quiet some time. His first post on SoundCloud was FIVE, count it, FIVE years ago. I’m pretty sure that was the beginning of the site (but please correct me if I’m wrong.) Dude stays working. I really enjoyed his last project Bulls Vs. Sixers, but all…

  • Interview With Freako on new EP ‘Vacation’ (Dissection Interview Series)

    Interview With Freako on new EP ‘Vacation’ (Dissection Interview Series)

    Our new dissection series has become a Chicago affair. I wouldn’t have it any other way as we are based in Chicago and I (Julie) call it my home town. I have carried on the tradition with Freako, a budding artist out of the windy city. He’s no stranger to the music scene, dropping two…

  • Chuck Chambers – On My Soul (New Track)

    Chuck Chambers – On My Soul (New Track)

    Chuck Chambers has been dropping tracks off of his SoundCloud for about a year now, but no song since compares to incredibly impressive track On My Soul. Rich Beatz gives us a sonically rich, piano driven instrumental that Chuck plays off of masterfully. He has seriously stepped up his flow, lyrics, and ability to create a…

    Chicago Hip Hop Event! – Listening Party/Meet + Greet for Na$im Williams’ F.A.M

    My man Na$im Williams always keeps me up to date on his new music, collaborations, and now an event that is a must attend. TODAY, October 15th, from 6-8pm, poppin’ Chicago clothing brand Iridium will be hosting the debut of his new conglomerate F.A.M. (Finest Among Many.)

  • Interview With Pavy on new music video ‘Drift’ (Dissection Interview Series)

    Interview With Pavy on new music video ‘Drift’ (Dissection Interview Series)

    This dissection series has been a blast for me. It’s such a fun way to learn about content that I find so compelling. For the last two posts (C$ + Säge The 64th Wonder) I asked about these artists about the way their new songs came to me. Today we are getting the low down on a…

  • Interview with C$’s on new single ‘Brand New’ (Dissection Interview Series)

    Interview with C$’s on new single ‘Brand New’ (Dissection Interview Series)

    We are back with another track dissection! We started off with Säge The 64th Wonder yesterday (read it here), and today we are talking to another Chicago artist named C$ (pronounced C Money.) I loved his new single Brand New which was even featured on Fake Shore Drive, so I decided to ask him a few more…
