The Chicago Round Up (Monday, October 2nd)
It’s impossible to keep up with the newest hip-hop releases. While streaming sites such as Spotify and Apple Music highlight them, they only do so once a week with almost no coverage of “less established” rappers.

New Jersey duo The Peanut Gallery Drops Their Funky Second Single “Time Flies By”
I grew up listening to old school funk, R&B, and soul music. I can thank my Dad for that, as he played the likes of Earth Wind and Fire, The Jackson 5, and Stevie Wonder throughout my childhood. I will forever be grateful to him for not playing classic rock, as I think it would…

After 2 Years Of Hard Work, Marques Carson Finally Releases His GLDNCHLD EP
Rappers are quick to rush out material – often flooding SoundCloud in hopes something will catch on, and play counts will skyrocket. It’s often the opposite – as new music on streaming sites and the web can overwhelm on the daily. I’ve noticed the successful MC’s work on their craft, find their sound, and find…
