Snowy Joey Reflects On His Past, Present & Future In New Music Video, ‘1 9’
Before his breakthrough album Snow 4, Snowy Joey put out a more reflective project called See You Soon. The 6 track EP was smooth, meditative, and reflective of where he’s been, and where he’s about to go. The slickest song on the project is 1 9, and produced by S. Rock. Joey resembles Chicago legend Common…

Mani Jurdan Drops Brief But Powerful Visual – ‘AL0T(R3B!RTH)’
If you want an overview of Mani Jurdan, look no further than his latest music video AL0T(R3B!RTH). He lyrically flexes over 21 Savage and J .Cole’s collab with personal and poignant lyrics, a strong delivery, and confident flow. The record is only 1 minute long, but lays out all that Mani can accomplish as an emcee.…

As a veteran music blogger I’ve experienced a plethora of dudes who say they really live that life and their music should be more recognized. They are often full of shit.

JB Brings Hope and Healing To Chicago With Music Video ‘Get Em Lifted’
Listeners unfamiliar with the progression of hip hop may label it as violent, vulgar, and street oriented. In 2019, this couldn’t be further from the truth. But there are still artists often found in Chicago who make music videos toting guns, ready to obliterate cops and rival gangs. I find it embarrassing at this point.…

Skipp Whitman Blurs Fantasy and Reality on Music Video ‘SUNDAY’
If you’ve ever skipped over Skipp Whitman (pun intended) this is your opportunity to repent your sins. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve posted his visuals and even a project or two. Cinematic does not capture the true nature of the work he puts into his music videos. They range from hilarious to…

J. Lamar Drops Knowledge on Hard Hitting Visual ‘Construction Ahead’
There is so much talent in Chicago it has become impossible to track. Another reminder came today when I finally watched J. Lamar’s Construction Ahead music video. The promising emcee can switch from a concocted flow to a fury of intelligent and descriptive bars that contain zero filler. Although Construction Ahead is a brief intro…
