One of my favorite songs of last fall was “Runaway” by Chandler London and Blakkass Westley featuring Cadillac Duke. The beat, produced by Savier of Animuse/TBO fame, was haunting and atmospheric that was able to complement each rapper’s vastly different rap styles. Savier has some production chops, and thankfully, we got some new work from...
If you’ve ever been out to a club in Chicago, chances are you’ve heard PHNM spin. As the Resident DJ at spots like The Underground, Debonair, Sub 51, and Sound Bar, PHNM’s been building up quite the following. His latest mix, “This Is It,” is a trippy trap track that’d tempt terrorists to twerk. Get...
The remix of Solange’s “Looks Good With Trouble” featuring Kendrick Lamar just dropped. The song mixes Solange’s smoky vocals with Kendrick’s smooth delivery. I’ll just keep this post short; go check out the song below!
Fun fact: The very first album I bought as a high schooler was Daft Punk’s Discovery back in the fall of 2001. I’ve never been a huge fan of dance/techno/house music, but I was enthralled by the robotic duo’s anime videos for the Discovery singles and absolutely had to check the rest of the album out. It didn’t...
(Image by Know Passion) The quartet of Elee X, Khalfani, Sidewalk Kal, and Blakkass Westley don’t hold punches with their music. If you’ve seen them live, you’re already aware of their gritty, in-your-face style. Their latest drop, “Look of Hate (Remix),” is actually a remixed version of the song they perform on stage. Produced by...
Clad in all white, Kendrick Lamar celebrates the life of an unknown entity in his latest video for “B*tch, Don’t Kill My Vibe.” The video’s shot with a somewhat soft saturation, matching the song’s laidback, sometimes-somber tone. Mike Epps (Next Friday) makes a cameo in the video, baptizing Lamar in a pool full of liquor....
The great thing about music is that, despite a song being released, it will constantly evolve and grow beyond its original form. Sometimes, that leads to Kidz Bop versions or YouTube acoustic guitar covers; other times, it can become something just as great as the original form itself. It’s been less than two weeks, but...
Damn it’s good to have Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire back in these RH pages after the New Yorker had a short hiatus as he worked on his follow-up album to Lost In Translation with Kismet. “Noble Drew Ali” is the first single form the project and besides the stream available below we also have a cool...
Capitalizing on the success of his debut full-length project The Wood, Dally Auston brings us a visual gem in the brand new video for “W$GTM”. Catch Dally Auston chilling in Chicago’s west-side with Jean Deaux, Joey Purp, Tokyo Shawn and handful of other Save Money affiliates below and get to know who really gets the...
To be honest, I wasn’t all that familiar with SolarFive before hearing his latest record, “No Love”. Nevertheless, the Mick Jenkins-assisted joint was a perfect way for me to be introduced to Solar and his music. The smooth instrumental –produced by OnGuad–is the perfect backdrop for the two emerging artists to trade bars while speaking...
