Trell Love has kept me up to date with his music (even before it drops) for some time now. He’s been telling me about his upcoming EP Waiting On Forever for a bit and even gave me a first listen. After the first run through, I deemed it great. It wasn’t until I re-listened for…

This shit is kinda fly. McGuire McFly hit my inbox with this newness titled Pharmacist. It’s his best track to date, combining a hazy + drippy beat with drug fueled vocals. I’d call it a guilty pleasure, something you can bump on a Saturday night while coming off some type of depressant. As you listen…

Aaron Jasper – Stop It (New Track)
Aaron Jasper got vicious with this one. After posting a gritty music video in September, the Chicago rapper has given us the official audio to Stop It. Clearly Aaron doesn’t hold anything back on this one, and after a few listens it’s definitely one of my favorite tracks out of the city this year. Give…
