    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…

    Musa Reems – Another Dos(e) (New Mixtape + Review)

    West side of Chicago group Children of I.L.L.I.O.S. have been featured on a slew of Chicago hip hop blogs such as Lyrical Lemonade, Elevator and These Days.  Young guns Musa Reems, Kairo Jones and LUMO, who make up the group, more than deserve the recognition. They’ve been creating timeless music since their inception in 2012, and in 2014 dropped…
