The OnGaud production team has become a staple crew in Chicago after making great records alongside some of the city’s most promising emcees in 2013. Naturally, the next move for the trio was to put out a beat ‘tape showcasing their range as musicians with eight fantastic tracks, all brand new. The project is definitely...
Facebook is playing catch up lately, first implementing hashtags on the popular social network last week. Now, rumors are spreading that they will announce a Vine-like video feature for Instagram, the photo-sharing app that Facebook acquired last April.

When a director and actor are able to click on a creative level, movie magic happens, as can be seen by the pair’s previous films (The Departed, Gangs of New York, Shutter Island, The Aviator). The Wolf of Wall Street is based off of Jordan...

I can’t wait for Super16, Nick Astro’s project that’ll hopefully shoot his hype into the atmosphere. He’s been working hard, dropping tracks and videos at a rapid pace leading up to the drop. Last weekend, he and KAKE’s Kellen Winters chopped it up to talk about his experience prepping Super16, his inspirations, and… dun dun dun… an...
Some awesome news have been revealed by Jay-Z & Samnsung’s PR team as they unveiled a new video promoting a –previously unheard of–project by Hova which is set to drop in less than a month and will be entirely free for the first million people who download it! Yeah, you read correctly, through a special...
Rich Jones was stranded in Chicago’s China Town at one in the morning and had two choices as he puts it: Slog his way back to the Northwest side, or see if he could get a hold of friend and collaborator Doc Da Mindbenda. Fortunately for us, Rich headed over to the Grindhouse and recorded...
I was so pumped on my way to The Taste of Randolph Street fest last night, to see Divine Fits. I’m a huge fan of Britt Daniels’s band Spoon and was eager to see him again on stage. It was awesome to see all the band members trading roles throughout the set. Britt and Dan...
