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…

Mick Jenkins feat. BADBADNOTGOOD – Drowning (Video + Single)
Mick Jenkins has been on a roll as he should be with his new album The Healing Component coming soon. Not only has he released Sunkissed and much buzzed about Spread Love, he’s contributed to some dope Chicago infused tracks. Closed Session’s producer Odd Couple recently collaborated with him and midwestern emcee WesterX for his…

D. Graves – Find The Beat (New Track)
Terrible joke, but Chicago artist D. Graves definitely found the beat (gag). I can’t get over the almost screamo chorus; something I’ve never heard incorporated into a quote on quote hip hop track. Obviously Graves can do much more than hip hop, as also evidenced by Mass Appeal premiered track Gold featuring Rich Jones and…

Air Credits – Passport (New Track)
ShowYouSuck has been one of my favorite Chicago artists since his 2011 OneManPizzaParty LP. He’s been putting in work for a long ass time. He’s teamed up with mash up kings The Hood Internet to form an extremely talented trio called Air Credits. They’ve released All I Need Part 1 and Part 2 which were…

Adamn Killa – Mr. 650 (New Mixtape)
Let me get this off my chest right away. Mr. 650, the new project by Adamn Killa, is not for everyone. Maybe its a Chicago thing, but I thoroughly enjoy his music. His previous tape, Back 2 Ballin excited me with it’s strange approach to melodic hip hop. Adamn has a very loyal fan base and tons…

Ye Ali – TrapHouse Jodeci (New Mixtape)
Ye Ali has FINALLY dropped off his highly anticipated new project TrapHouse Jodeci. There is excellent combination of reggae, hip hop and r&b on this one. The production is incredible. What To Do is a complete standout, featuring K Camp. Camp has been pretty quiet in recent months, but he proves he hasn’t lost his…

Discussing Gucci Mane and Zaytoven’s GucTiggy Series
Super producer Zaytoven has modernized and shaped southern trap music for years but has just begun to get the undivided attention he deserves. Back in 2013, he created a backdrop to arguably the biggest hit of 2013 – Versace with Migos. As we all know Drake liked it so much that he remixed the track, giving yet…

Duckwrth – Rare Panther + Beach House (New Track)
The best way to describe the Sad Money and ChannelTres produced track Rare Panther + Beach House is funky, love making hip hop. Duckwrth has a very nice track on his hands. The switch up around 3 minutes and 30 seconds with a woman spitting some spoken word rhymes is beautiful. What follows is some r&b crooning…
