Yung Stakks – In My Own Lane (New Mixtape + Review)
In June of 2015 Fakeshoredrive.com posted track Stakk Money from Chicago artist Yung Stakks. I had heard it around the city, a few snippets, some talk and hearsay. At that point I knew it was finally time to press play. And I did exactly that. It automatically became my most played song that summer; I…

Jae Haze – Numbers (New Track)
Uh…song of the week? Chicago’s R.A.N. Nation member Jae Haze goes incredibly hard on his first track in 3 months, Numbers. The beat is menacing, the flow is unique and in your face. There are rhymes for days and they continue on without hesitation for the almost 4 minute track. The sound is similar to Numbers…

Logan Cage – I’ll Be Somewhere (Video)
Logan Cage can’t lose on his visuals. And how could he with JKrown filming. He’s been shooting his music videos since day 1, but I’ll Be Somewhere was a collaborative directing effort with Lucas Christian (Lucas Vision) contributing nicely. Flight on the boards again; everything comes together beautifully. JKrown recently dropped a short film that you can…

G.o.D. Jewels – Car Keys (New Track)
This is too short of a song. I’m just going to throw that out there. Car Keys from Chicago artist G.o.D. Jewels was so intriguing upon first listen that I just had to send it to my two hip hop confidants to get their impression and discuss the layers contained within. We all agreed it was moody,…

L.A. VanGogh – ‘No Service’ (New Track + Artist Spotlight)
This post made my head spin. Illinois native L.A. VanGogh is, to put it lightly, heavily involved in the midwest hip hop scene. He presented a hell of a debut with 2015’s The Vinyl, is 1/2 of duo safeNsound with DJ Ambi and also produces. He’s released two complex remix EP’s in the last 2 months,#shftape…

Lukas G (Of New Kingz) – XX (New Track)
Back in mid August producer Glassic dropped an album we loved. I listened throughly, but came back to cuts Not Right and Like Me. Both featured New Kingz. I had heard of the Chicago duo, but hadn’t fully listened to their content before. I was very impressed with their contributions to the Glassic EP, and even saw Ali (one…

Kembe X – Oxygen (Video)
I’ve always loved animated music videos. I’m not an expert on music videos, or, for that matter, animation and drawing, but I’m guessing these videos take longer, are more time consuming, or at least equal to a regularly shot video. Kembe X has released just this with Oxygen. Although the animator and director Yellow Nguyen & Christopher…
