My 1st impression of Dean Chatham is deep, original, creative, and off-kilter. More than anything else true hiphop is evident in each bar spit on his new project "Dean's List 2: The Aftermath". In the age of mumble rap and drill music, Dean's sound may not be everyones cup of tea, but for those who can listen.. you will fall right into this 9 track collection!

Check the crazy flow on "So Alive" as Young Certified dismantles Snootie Wild's hit "Out The Mud"!

Chicago born and raised, Anthony Dagher aka Young Certified comes out with a new banger. Recognized as Chicago's fastest rapper and recently featured on NRK Humor from Norway (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrRIDXg1WYs&feature=youtu.be) for his performance comes his latest track "So Alive".








Here's a thoughtful track from the homie KidDr1ft name "O.M.O" or "On My Own". Check as he speaks his mind on his lonely state over a sick Luke White. KidDr1ft says, "When I say on my own I'm describing how it is when you trust people, because trusting is like respect and its something that has to be earned. You do get lost in a track at times when you do something you enjoy so I tend to question a lot of things in life but then again who doesn't?"

BIO:  "Darien Gomez Jr aka KidDr1ft or Kid(for short). KidDr1ft is an unsigned artist who also enjoys the bboy life as well.Coming out of Saint Paul, MN but originally born in Minneapolis, MN at a young age he knew what he was destined for.Music has always played an important part of his life whether it was to free his from his problems or just because he was happy music was always there. I guess you could say many artistes from the 80's, 90's and early 2000's inspired him to become an artist of my own. So the thing that keeps him focus isn't just family it's telling hisself "you can't always be the greatest at everything you do but at least you could try to be".

Cody Tyler Releases Title Track from EP, "LightKidEra"

 

Cody Tyler is on a roll. In the past couple months he released the hit single "Pulp Fiction" and followed that up with a Au Glass-directed music video to rave reviews. He now is back with the title track from his upcoming EP, "LightKidEra". The Florida-raised, now LA-based MC has been putting in the hard work ever since touching down in the City of Angels and is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. After inking a deal with LA-based music management and promotions firm, On The Grind Management, things are quickly on the rise and industry is taking notice.



This latest release "LightKidEra" is a party anthem and simply out there for everyone to have fun. It's the end of summer, but that doesn't mean the party has to stop now. As Cody states, "LightKidEra came from a vision I had one day when writing. I took a break, had a drink and took a shower while listening to the beat. I immediately got the vision of a group of people very happy and just leading a stampede of people living for a purpose, loving life and having fun. A group who welcomes all and everyone who wants to bring light to the world". Take a listen to the song below and you can catch Cody on a stage near you this Winter in LA, including in January at Busby's East. We appreciate your support and more coming from Cody soon!

"Focused on reaching and inspiring the world through his thought-provoking musical testament the South Carolina rap artist known as 2Ru3 (pronounced True) has announced the forthcoming debut of his single "The People." The song is a meaningful track that expresses the importance of unity and growth."

BIO: 2Ru3 is a hip-hop artist who is native to Columbia, South Carolina. He was born and raised on the southeast side of Columbia near Hopkins off SC-48 via Bluff Road. He has always been a musical individual ever since can remember, whether making up songs about random topics or just having fun with friends. He never got into rapping until about 13 years old, but got serious with it after graduating high school. Part of his mission, through music, is to impart truth to anyone willing to listen with an open mind while also striving to create music that is heartfelt, soulful and resonates with the people who hear it no matter where they are from or how old they are.

JAY Z TAKES US BACK TO CHURCH WITH SIR THE BAPTIST PREMIERE OF "WAKE UP"

I guess there is church in the wild. Sir the Baptist, a Chicago-born recording artist, just premiered his latest artistic demonstration entitled "Wake Up" through Jay Z's entertainment streaming service - Tidal. Sir is an emerging pop/hip hop artist with gospel roots whose sound is reminiscent of "Jesus Walks" or a modern Reverend Run. He is currently highly coveted by some of the most prestigious record labels in the music industry. Universal Music Group states, "Amen! One of the chosen ones has arrived. Save music!"

"Wake Up" is an anti-violence anthem, coming from a Chicagoan who has marched in the streets for this cause, to bring people together and call for change. As we've seen, Chicagoans and artists alike have been blunt on their disapproval of Spike Lee's 'Chiraq'. Although there is outrage surrounding the comedic and sometimes sexist plot on such a sensitive subject, especially to those who have lost someone to the violence, Spike may be hitting a nerve in the city. However, a preachers kid from Louis Armstrong's neighborhood in Chicago decided to act by partnering with Jay Z's tidal streaming service to achieve awareness in a more serious, yet peaceful tone. 

These "Wake Up" demonstrations weren't just another music video. They were a protest on Chicago's Magnificat Mile, a march in low income areas of the city and an event to take back the parks of Chicago by mentoring and feeding the youth in the city.




"Wake Up" was written by Sir many months ago, but happens to share the same title as Pope Francis's upcoming album. Similar to the Pope, Sir has ignited controversy surrounding issues in faith-based communities. Both revolutionaries believe in fighting for the poor, seek to change long-standing problems within their communities, cure injustices that have existed for far too long and build a culture around human dignity for a common good. Not since Reverend Run has the church culture been this embedded in mainstream music.

Catch Sir the Baptist live on December 23rd at Reggies Rock Club in Chicago as part of a Toy & Food Drive Charity Concert. He will also be hosting numerous anti-violence events, turkey donation drives, free concerts for Chicago Public School students and town hall meetings in the months ahead.

While still in elementary school, Terock’s older brother wrote the budding emcee’s first rap song, with Terock taking the reins of his promising career at a young age. His influences include elite hip hop artists such as Nas, all the way down to the pioneers of southern hip hop Outkast.

Chicago-based rising star & recording artist Sir the Baptist has a message for Chicago on this Halloween and it's a powerful one. Read it below and more info on Sir at the bottom...

I'm on a mission and I'm asking for your help. Last Sunday I marched from my dad's church in Bronzeville to Armstrong Park, and asked you as a community to WAKE UP! This weekend is Halloween and this time I'm asking you to stay awake with my NO SLEEP campaign. 

The hours of 9 pm to 5 am will be the most dangerous time on Halloween. I want to call my community together and ask as many people as I can to commit to taking part in a watch unlike any neighborhood you have ever heard or been a part of. This is a shared responsibility. Bronzeville has a population of around 20,000 people. I ask only 480 of you to commit to taking just a 60 second timeslot and watch out your window and  anything unsafe to your friends, family, and neighbors, report to the police. We will give you a WAKE UP call, both literally and in the communal sense, 5 minutes before your 1 minute timeslot. Now, I know that this does not cover the community in its entirety, however it is a start. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could get 5,000 people to join with us? Imagine the impact we could have. We can show the world what we are capable of when we join hands and come together for positive purpose. 

We will be out in the community all day Thursday and Friday, as well as Saturday morning asking for your commitment to gather these 480 to help drive our campaign. 

Set aside the fact that I am an artist and remember that I am first a #Bronzevilleboy. Our campaign team is comprised of Bronzeville business owners, artists and citizens just like yourselves. We are also teaming up with the 3rd and 4th ward police districts to be prepared for the watch as well. In addition, we will have a team out on foot patrol as well. 

Take this opportunity to come together as the community that we desire to be and make this campaign a true success. Let's prove that we have the power as a community to put Chi-raq to sleep.
