The bullrush towards Earl Sweatshirt’s highly-anticipated Doris continues with this new song, “Guild.” With Mac Miller featured on the song, “Guild” features the two rappers delivering their verses in a lower octave to create a dark tone for the song. Earl continues to display his lyrical growth with every Doris song release. We all had early hyper...
The conflict between robots and human emotions isn’t new in fiction; decades of various art forms have touched on whether robots could ever have the capacity to understand free thought and emotions, with the capacity of love being a huge aspect. While sometimes the concept can grow long in the tooth in feature-length films, short...
Maniac screened at last year’s Chicago International Film Festival, and I’ve been kicking myself since October for missing it. Starring Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings), the Franck Khalfoun-directed film is shot mostly in first-person, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the horror film.

The majority of comedy films tend to follow plot formulas involving a mild-mannered character stumbling across a problem that goes through a series of outlandish challenges to take care of the problem while discovering something new or life-changing about himself along the way.

A friend of mine turned to Twitter recently to share his praise about Dragon. With nothing to do, I decided to watch the film per his suggestion.

This joint doesn’t quite fit with the theme Mafioso had going on, so I understand why it is not in there, but Fresco still murked it and...
TwoLetterz dropped this new heat entitled “Chi-Town Shit” in our submission inbox and it was too good to not put it up. Besides a stellar verse from TwoLetterz, we also get Tree spitting a surprise guest-verse and production by Roman Flowrs to show you what that “Chi-Town Shit” is all about.
I’m not going to lie, the recent push-backs on Martin $ky’s time(LESS) project has left me a somewhat bummed out, but I know the homie is working hard on the project and it will hands-down be one of the best releases in Chicago this year. With that being said, here we have “TRACK 01″, the...
Kendrick Lamar will tour the country this Summer while promoting his good kid m.A.A.d city album and the TDE team just released a quick promo video featuring a hilarious cameo by Mac Miller impersonating Schoolboy Q and a “U.O.E.N.O.” freestyle by Black Hippy. Peep below and let us know who do you feel went in...
