Rudy is Jordan Caesar’s magnum opus. It is a body of work that can truly excel the scope, sound, style and understanding of hip hop. This is innovative music at its very finest. A traditional write up is not only a disservice to the album, but also not applicable. As I sat down to write … More Jordan Caesar – Rudy (Fresh New Album) (FFD Premiere)
Aced Spade can do it all. Produce, make instrumental projects, and flip well known tracks into, what sounds like, a totally new track altogether. This is the case with his latest, BNW (Brand New Whip). He’s taken Lil Baby & Drake’s Yes Indeed and added an ethereal, woozy, vibe-heavy element that is far from the … More Aced Spade – BNW (New Track) (FFD Premiere)
A week ago I sat down with the gifted Chicago artist Aasha Marie to learn the in’s and out’s of her artistry, background, and motivation for making music. It became clear through early listens to her new album, and a long backlog of texts that this singer, poet, emcee, and all around creative was ready … More Aasha Marie – WYWS (New Album) (FFD Premiere)
Sad Girls with Bible Names is the debut project from Tall Doozy, a band comprised of producers/vocalists Mary Bozaan and flowsfordays’ favorite Jim Swim. The project is a multi-faceted, gorgeous record that blends jazz, hip hop, soul, and bedroom pop served with the utmost of creative flair. With hazy electronic textures and washed out guitars, raps, and … More FFD Premiere: Tall Doozy – ‘Sad Girls With Bible Names’ (New Album)
Jim Swim has been putting out versatile, evocative tracks for years. It’s hard to choose a favorite, made even harder by his latest approach of releasing music – in two tracks. They are always interconnected; whether juxtaposed or woven together in an artistic fashion. Another couplet has emerged, this time in the form of Tired … More FFD Premiere: Jim Swim – Tired Now // Gotta Sleep (New EP)
I spoke highly of Ano Bank$ a few weeks ago, and the proof is in the pudding. Today we have the release of his new EP Kamili. While Ano can run circles around the top lyricists in the game (peep first track, Merch) – he can also free flow over progressive, ambient production that creates … More FFD Premiere: Ano Bank$ – Kamili (New EP)
Ali spreads hope, love, and joy through his music. His debut album, which came out this year, showed awareness and found the silver linings of trials and tribulations we all experience at some point. Today’s premiere of his collaborative piece, My Lighter, is more of the same, but with even bouncier, upbeat melodics and production. … More FFD Premiere: Ali (feat. Chai Tulani & Guy) – My Lighter (New Track)
Today I have the honor of premiering an incredible piece of work by Houston artist Kiev who is, at the very core, a creative. For years now he’s put out playlist after playlist, project after project, and a ton of diverse content such as freestyles and free form pieces of work. Ambrosia is easily his … More FFD Premiere: Kiev – Ambrosia (New Project & Interview)
I’ve been on the horn with Uni BLK for weeks now, and he never fails to show me how hard he works as an artist. He is a bit of a mysterious figure in Chicago (he rarely shows his face) but always makes music that impacts minds and hearts. Uni’s soul is on full display … More FFD Premiere: Uni BLK Interview

Songwriting, vocal strength, performing abilities, and … More FFD Premiere: Roy Banks – May Mayhem Medley (New Music Video)
