Mpulse – 1 of 1 (New Track)
Chicago native Mpulse has been on the scene for quiet some time. His first post on SoundCloud was FIVE, count it, FIVE years ago. I’m pretty sure that was the beginning of the site (but please correct me if I’m wrong.) Dude stays working. I really enjoyed his last project Bulls Vs. Sixers, but all…

Rich Garvey featuring Prizm – Polytics (New Track)
Rich Garvey is here to drop some knowledge on you. New song Polytics does just that. He has flows for days (blog plug) and a strong intellect. The slow riding jazzy beat (from Der Zew) is a great platform for Rich to rhyme off of, and he does it well. Featured artist Prizm contributes well too.…

What Inspired Me To Start flowsfordays.com (Personal Editorial)
flowsfordays was started for a reason. I had been running a blog on Tumblr called Discover Good Music for a few years while I was at Columbia College in Chicago. For those that aren’t familiar, it’s an arts school downtown. I transferred to the college in the fall of 2012 after trying social work at…

Jarreau – Half Past (New Track)
I really appreciate Jarreau’s mentality. He submitted a song in early August that I passed on. I told him to keep sending me music (as I do to all artists whether I post or not.) He didn’t give up and emailed me about his new song, Half Past. I couldn’t let this one slip by…

Interview With Freako on new EP ‘Vacation’ (Dissection Interview Series)
Our new dissection series has become a Chicago affair. I wouldn’t have it any other way as we are based in Chicago and I (Julie) call it my home town. I have carried on the tradition with Freako, a budding artist out of the windy city. He’s no stranger to the music scene, dropping two…

Amon – Future Ex (New Track)
Amon has a lot to talk about. As he mentioned in our sit down with him in August, his fans love the honesty in his music. Today’s newest single, Future Ex, may be his most forthright song yet. He calls upon his “future ex,” as he doesn’t have a lot of hope the next girl will…

Yoshi Thompkins – What It Feels Like (Freestyle)
There is so much in this new freestyle from Yoshi Thompkins that after the 1 minute mark my head was spinning. It takes many, many listens to fully grasp what he’s saying. If you thought he couldn’t spit, now is the perfect time to hear how wrong you are. He’s got a host of dope tracks and…
Got any book recommendations?
