Glassic – Glassic EP
Wow. This album is crazy. Chicago producer Glassic released his self titled EP a little bit ago and it is flames. It features a host of artists including Solar Five, (who I did an interview with on my previous blog DGM) Will Is Chillin, Feeliicks and Luke G (among many others). I don’t know much about Glassic,…

24hrs – Right 4 YU (New Track)
Multi faceted 24hrs is no longer an “unknown”artist. He’s always done his music solo, holding the title of rapper, singer, DJ, and producer. Back in April of this year Pigeons & Planes featured them in their “Daily Discovery” article. Perhaps this created the buzz he needed, but it is his genre bending music that has a…

Thelonious Martin – Static (New Instrumental EP)
Thelonious Martin. A legend in the city of Chicago. Producer/artist/vinyl enthusiast; a vital part of the past, present and future of the hip hop culture. I don’t need to tell you how many artists he’s worked with. When he drops ANYTHING, I’m on it. Tonight, in anticipation for upcoming project Late Night Programming, KingThelonious decided to…

Tavis – Slice (Video)
Last month Sacramento based artist Tavis hit his SoundCloud subscribers with Slice, a smooth cut off his upcoming project Over The Hill. Now we get the visual treatment. He is new to my ears, but I’ll definitely be looking out for the new mixtape to drop.

Isaiah Rashad – Free Lunch (Official Music Video)
Isaiah Rashad is back again! After releasing the audio to Free Lunch and appearing on TUT’s G35, we get an official music video for the much talked about single. He’s been gone too long and is surely making up for it. Watch out for his epic “dance moves” in the video. All jokes aside he confirms my…

Yin Yang feat. 21 Savage – If I Wanted Too (New Track)
Co-signs are a blessing, for the most part. Drake has put more people on to artists such as Roy Woods and Partynextdoor (among others) with his tweets, shout outs and OVO station. The former’s music pales in comparison to the latter, with PND becoming a household name in the r&b/hip hop world. Yin Yang hasn’t exactly…
