I’m Calling It Now – Daylight Tone Is Going To Be Huge Thanks To Debut LP “CTRL+ALT+DLT” (Artist Spotlight)
Daylight Tone is a newbie in releasing music – but there is a reason. Last month he dropped his first and only single in 100 (write up here) – an infectious blend of R&B, pop, and right on time rhymes. It came to my attention through FFD regular and producer Hanakatoba who made the beat for…

Rebel Legato Shares His 3 Years In The Making LP “Rebel Season”
We’re big fans of Rebel Legato over here at FFD. We weren’t expecting him to join new power group Tiny Chain Gang (Vantablac SOL, Will is Chillin’ producer Josh Grant and himself) but had no complaints. The E-Town native was also featured on our first compilation tape Riptide Vol. 1 – and easily grabbed the most streams out…

Chicago’s Evan Nash Drops Memorable Debut EP “Far From Over”
Chicago’s Evan Nash has been hard at work prepping for his debut EP Far From Over, and it’s certainly paid off. The EP is only 8 tracks long but is a delicious appetizer to the talent that is Evan. There’s pop-induced melodies, progressive flows, acoustic muses, and party anthems. Evan is no one trick pony,…

Chicago’s Tony Santana Drops His Socially Conscious Project “Northside Flexin’”
18-year-old Chicago MC Tony Santana is way beyond his years. Formerly known as Anthony Okocha, Tony is inspired by conscious rappers such as Mos Def, Common, Blu, and the like, but as the “Soundcloud Era” hit, Tony decided to fuse his love of early hip-hop with this new “turn up” mentality. As he grew older,…

Savage G Drops His Impressive Debut Album “Son Of The Storm”
Last time we heard from Savage G he had dropped a killer single with Chicago’s Roosevelt The Titan. He has already slayed the loosie game, and I was looking forward to a full length. His debut project is finally here, and it’s a hell of an introduction to the LA native. Son of the Storm is perfection,…

Chicago’s Rodie Has A Classic On His Hands With New Mixtape “Stressin’ Adolescent”
It would be a damn shame if Chicago’s Rodie doesn’t get due respect for his new Stressin’ Adolescent Mixtape. I cannot stress (pun unintended) how essential of a listen this is for true hip-hop heads. The well-rounded and meticulously crafted tape is easily one of my favorites of the year and has the potential to change…

Chicago’s Jay Wood Doesn’t Disappoint On His Highly Anticipated New EP “RAIN.”
In the beginning of the year, we spoke to Jay Wood about his return to the Chicago music scene and what he had been cooking up in the interim. His comeback single with femdot. and Chulo was out and drew a lot of buzz in the city. Since then, Jay has been on a rampage, grabbing…

Harmonic Sapien – “Anti Social” (New Project)
The relationship between an emcee and producer is an intricate one indeed. Not always credited for the work they put in, without producers, this love many have for this culture would be obsolete. Chicago producer, Harmonic Sapien, keeps it short and sweet with his latest EP, Anti Social. And yes, you’ve guessed it, the inspiration…
