Even better, Soul Temple is offering the track...
Impolite Society’s Sidewalk Kal is the smooth, laidback member of the group. That’s not to say he doesn’t go hard at shows, but his studio stuff is always so chill. Buoyed by some beats produced by producer Mattron/Yung AOL, Kal delivers a smooth flow complete with a Sega reference. If you haven’t heard any of...
The latest song from Naledge, “Love Not Personal,” just dropped. Featuring Saba and Vic Spencer, a smooth saxophone carries the beat across each rappers’ verses as they rap about not trusting the ladies. The hook preaches some knowledge: “Don’t trust these pros, they just gonna go and take off their clothes/Their loving ain’t personal. They blow...

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.
