D2X – IANAF (New Project)
D2X is a bit of an anomaly. He’s mysterious, and often releases music quietly. He’s been making waves around Chicago since 2016, racking up thousands of SoundCloud streams. We’ve gotten to know D since the inception of flowsfordays; even premiering his strong collaborative record with JT. He’s got hella talent, and a very distinct personality on the…

DAVION – Shining Freestyle (New Track)
DAVION has given us a great start to the summer in his new freestyle Shining. Although Jay-Z and Beyonce killed the DJ Khaled beat, I prefer listening to the Chicago emcee’s version. If you aren’t familiar with the original song, you may mistake this rework to be his own creation. DAVION has incredible agility on this record, with a rapping style that…

Joel is a talented rapper out of Chicago who has linked with Illanoize, super videographer Dinero Films, and flowsfordays favorites Breeze and Law Tha Dragon for this conceptual video. The video…

Nique – 25 To Life (New Track)
The burbs of Chicago rarely get love. One artist that might change that is Aurora’s Nique. He’s starting things off right with his debut SoundCloud single, 25 To Life. It dropped on his 25th birthday, and in just over 3 minutes he’s caught us up on his entire life. The song speaks on his vices, specific struggles,…

ANXT – Watching Paint Dry (New EP)
ANXT is a hidden gem in the Chicago music scene. Who in their right mind would create a 17 minute project inspired by watching paint dry ? WPD is one of the most significant releases the lo fi hip hop world has ever seen, and I say that with no hyperbole. Stream of conscious bars…

flowsfordays Premiere: Juan Don – The Storm (New Track)
Juan Don has been gone for a minute, and today we are happy to host his official return. After the almost universal praise of his 2016 LP, BELIEVE, the output ceased. We’ve been itching for something new from the Chicago emcee, and we’ve finally gotten it in The Storm. He speaks on his journey throughout life’s ups and downs,…
