Yes, he’s garnered attention far and wide, but the grind never stops. One month later, James is back with Joy, another song that encourages us to push along…

Terem Shares The Importance Of Gratitude In Jazzy Instrumental ‘Look on the Bright Side’
Music has no bounds, and no limitations. It is free-flowing; an expression of anything the artist desires.

ILL Gordon Drops Soulful Party Jam ‘Having A Good Time’
I’ve covered Ill Gordon, one of Chicago’s best kept secrets, for years now. He’s vicious on the mic, and a technically skilled emcee. Gordon’s biggest sell is his energetic tracks (and freestyles) that are best represented by last year’s Imma Beast. When I peeped his latest submission, Having a Good Time, I was surprised – but…
