imyNoah – Go (New Track + Review)
Welp – we’ve found another killer rapper out of Chicago. There’s even better news…imyNoah is a student at my almamater Columbia College.

Aaron Alexander – Storm (New Track + Review)
Let me start of by saying this. Kansas City’s Aaron Alexander went through 9 mixing phases to get to the current audio you are hearing.

Coach Tev (feat. Blake Cris + Oracle Jones) – Midnight Cruiser (New Track)
Using live instruments in hip hop songs is a dying art. Chicago leads the way in this endeavor, but I was always hoping it spread into other sectors.

Akienz gave me my song of the weekend in ‘Clarity Interlude’
Akienz just gave me my song of the weekend. That might be surprising on this “holiday” weekend, as you probably couldn’t pregame to this. For the people that can, I love you. From the moment I heard Natra Average’s beat on Clarity Interlude, I knew I was in for a treat. Then the first bar…

Mulatto, Qari + Warhol.SS – Countin’ (New Track + Review)
Whenever buddies Mulatto or Qari put out a single or a full project, you know the artwork will be epic. Before I even pushed play, I double clicked on the album cover and let it wash over my eyes. This loosie from Qari and Warhol.SS will absolutely cater to their individual fans. Both of these Chicago staple emcees…
