FFD Premiere: Gold Haze – Came Up (New Music Video)
Gold Haze has put out a plethora of diverse content in the last few years. He is no one trick pony, and always has new ideas, concepts, and surprises up his sleeve. Haze can make content heavy records, reflective pieces, anthems, odes to loved ones, and now, the slickest of visuals. Came Up is his…

FFD Premiere: Ruste Juxx, King Magnetic, Explizt and Illa Ghee – ‘Class Is In Session’ (New Track)
I’ve hosted hundreds of premiere’s on FFD, but none have been more exciting than last months’ collab with Ruste Juxx and M-Dot. As I enter my late 20’s, I’ve developed a personal relationship with gritty, unfiltered, and lyrically potent hip hop, which is why today’s premiere is just as hype worthy. After a brief hiatus,…

FFD Premiere: Ruste Juxx & M-Dot – ‘Guilty’ (New Track)
When I wrote about M-Dot for the first time, the words came swiftly, and easily. That post, over a year ago, was perhaps the longest single write up I have ever done. No one made me do it, and I didn’t have a goal in mind. It was the visual, Chrissy, that did all of…

FFD Premiere: No Face, Rapper – ‘GFNS’ (New Track)
In the last two years the ever versatile No Face, Rapper has blessed me with an incredible single and a top notch EP. The project, Never Fear Rejection, impressed me so much that I wrote an extensive review without any edits. We haven’t been able to link for a FFD premiere yet which has always…

FFD Premiere & Exclusive Interview: REY – ‘Hold Me Back’ (New Track)

He kept me in the loop in the entire process, sharing demos and different versions until he was completely happy with this final version. I typically can’t…

FFD Premiere & Exclusive Interview: Connor james – Been Up Freestyle (New Track)
Chicago’s Connor james turned heads last year with The Champagne Tape, which mixed calculated trap beats with his creative lyrical approach and flow. The 4 track EP was a highlight of last year, and showed that james was a leader, not a follower. Motel Music, his new collaborative project with fellow Chicago native drmbeat, goes in a completely different direction than…

FFD Premiere & Interview: Newman – ‘Elminá’ (New Project)
Making a flawless album takes time, dedication, persistence, and confidence. If the process gets ‘hard’, many artists rush it, or even quit. There are still a plethora of rappers who stick with it till the end, and actually put out some dope content. In my eyes, this should be standard if you want people to support…

FFD Premiere & Exclusive Interview: D2X – Stay 2011 (New Track)
The first time I heard D2X, I was convinced he would be a driving force not only in Chicago hip hop, but the genre as a whole. I’ve been singing his praises and posting his music since the beginning of his career, which was only two years ago. If this is what D can do…
