flowsfordays was launched in late 2016, and since the site’s inception Marko Stat$ has never stopped showing up on our pages. He’s remained an integral part of the more conscious Chicago hip hop community – and one of the best to ever do it. We’ve hosted premiere’s from Marko before, but it has been awhile since I’ve truly been back on the blog tip, making … Continue reading FFD Premiere: Marko Stat$ – Pedal To The Medal (New Track)
Last year Marko Stat$ dropped his much anticipated full length Bee-4 I Fly Away. The success of the project resulted in accolades, respect, and a number of performances. I knew he had it in him from the jump as I interviewed him back in 2016. His right hand man Aced Space handled the production on the LP, and finally got the attention he’s always deserved. We also saw … Continue reading Marko Stat$, Aced Spade, & Their Squad Star In New Music Video ‘WADDUP’
Marko is all about positivity. When listening to his music, you can’t help but feel his inner soul. After dropping one of the best projects of the year, Marko continues to stay relevant with his newest visual, Power. His right-hand man Aced Space provides a smooth instrumental for Marko to shed light on his values, encouraging others to realize they have more power in their … Continue reading flowsfordays’ Premiere: Marko Stat$ – Power (Official Music Video)
God damn, god damn. Before you stream Ajani Jones’ newest record, peep the credits. It features Ajani himself, flowsfordays’ favorite Marko Stat$ AND producer extraordinaire, banksthegenius. This is a match made in heaven. As soon as it came up in my feed I experienced anticipation not felt since Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. To catch you up, Ajani is coming off a HELL of a debut LP, Eternal Bliss, that … Continue reading flowsfordays’ favorites Ajani Jones, Marko Stat$ & banksthegenius Link for One Of The Best Collabs of the Summer
Ahh! It’s finally here! We have endless amounts of respect for Chicago’s Marko Stat$ (just check our countless posts on the emcee.) It all started when we interviewed producer Aced Spade, who shared his alliance with Marko. A year end list, interview and feature on our compilation tape later, we now have his newest project Bee-4 I Fly Away. On a personal note, I have been waiting for a full length from Marko since … Continue reading Marko Stat$ – Bee-4 I Fly Away (New Project + Review)
I can’t believe it’s here – our first compilation tape. Since the inception of flowsfordays I’ve wanted to put out a project like this. I wanted to develop relationships with artists first, and then begin to link with them on collaborations. Riptide Vol. 1 is a very personal project to me. Each artist featured has made an impact on my life in some way. Many … Continue reading flowsfordays Presents: Riptide Vol. 1
If you’ve been following the blog for a while, you’ll know we are HUGE fans of rapper Marko Stat$ and super producer Aced Spade. Both are some of the brightest underground stars in hip hop, period. Marko releases music sparingly, but it’s all worth the wait and for the greater good. He’s been working with Aced Spade since the jump, and their chemistry is amazing. … Continue reading Marko Stat$ + Aced Spade – Jubilation (New Track)
Marko Stat$ JUST hit me up about a new tune he recently put out. I was all over it – as usual. The always working duo of Marko + producer Aced Spade have come together for a space age and soulful cut titled Love It. This seems to be a loosie for now, but let’s hope more is in the works. I’ve been wanting a full project … Continue reading Marko Stat$ + Aced Spade – Love It (New Track)
Good friend and fellow flowsfordays interviewee Marko Stat$ absolutely killed this freestyle and music video. Since J. Cole’s Everybody Dies dropped, rappers have been attempting to go in on the instrumental…some successfully, some not so much. This is the first time I’ve seen an artist absolutely body the beat and at the very least match Cole’s viral visual. By the way – if you want to … Continue reading Marko Stat$ – Everybody Gotta Fly (Video)
I’ve seen the growth of Chicago’s underground movement, especially in the last few months. It’s always been pretty strong, but more and more artists have been racking up SoundCloud plays across the city’s eclectic neighborhoods. There’s no way you can hear/see all the music/videos + tapes hitting the web everyday, but blogs help. One cat that I’ve been noticing for quiet some time is Marko … Continue reading Marko Stat$ Has Made His Mark In Chicago…Now He’s Ready To Go Global (Exclusive Interview)
