  • Casscade – #LivingInTheMoment (New Project + Review)

    Casscade – #LivingInTheMoment (New Project + Review)

    A flawless project is hard to come by, especially if it’s off SoundCloud by an artist that has barely cracked 250 followers. Casscade first drew our attention from his submission Favourite Girl which dropped this past February. We gave it a great review , and knew great things were on the horizon for the North West London emcee. Others…

  • Nuworld Flood – Juiced Up (New Track)

    Nuworld Flood – Juiced Up (New Track)

    Southside of Chicago rapper Nuworld Flood has been proving his worth since 2014 when he first started recording. His first post on SoundCloud was a venting session, with similarity to J. Cole’s prowess as a story teller. He’s not just a bar for bar rapper. 8 tracks and 1 project later, he’s shown his versatility ten fold. He…

    Ajani Jones – Eternal Bliss (New Project + Review)

    Our love for Ajani Jones is endless. Just read our write ups. He’s released an EP, a few loosies, and performed at shows around Chicago. His work has all been leading up to this: his debut project titled Eternal Bliss. To get a full length from Ajani is more than a blessing, but essential to…

    Ajani Jones feat. Anna Agosta and Shao Doja (Produced by Blookah) (New Track + Review)

    Hip hop music in Chicago is in a great spot. No longer are our ears subject to violent imagery, guns, and negativity. Chance The Rapper brought lush instrumentation, powerful subject matter, and quality rapping to the mainstream around the time of Acid Rap. People slowly caught on, but once it hit, the weight of Chicago…

    radicule. – SHAME [radicule flip.] (New Instrumental + Review)

    It’s been a minute since we’ve posted an instrumental track, but I’m happy to end the streak with a new remix to Freddie Gibb’s Shame. His collaborative LP with legendary producer Madlib (titled Pinata) was my absolute favorite project of 2014, so this was a welcomed submission. If you haven’t given it a spin, I recommend…

    imyNoah – Go (New Track + Review)

    Welp – we’ve found another killer rapper out of Chicago. There’s even better news…imyNoah is a student at my almamater Columbia College. He is only 18 years old, but creates music like he’s been recording for years. The producer of his new song Go is a South looper named Ignite, who has been dropping heat…

  • Jimmy Pham – Room 202 (New EP + Extensive Review)

    Jimmy Pham – Room 202 (New EP + Extensive Review)

    R&B artists experiment from time to time with distorted vocals, abstract beats, and occasionally both. But, it’s a rare occurrence when a vocalist breaks boundaries throughout an entire project. Although Jimmy Pham’s newest EP Room 202 is only 3 full tracks, (there are 3 interludes) every facet of the project is in a realm of it’s…

  • Dae Fluent – My Way (New Track + Review)

    Dae Fluent – My Way (New Track + Review)

    Before I start the review of the new song from artist and producer Dae Fluent, let’s take a good look at the cover art. It’s quiet honestly a painting; full of watercolor, Asian influences, and a lot of detail. Luckily, the record is just as stunning as the artwork. In Dae’s submission, she said My Way was…
