Brandon Fox – Facing Temptation / Bleeds For The People
After the birth of his beautiful baby boy following a rough couple of months, it’s understandable that Brandon Fox would take a little bit of time off. Now, he’s back and ready to deliver. On Facing Temptation, Brandon took the music back to the root by relying on a lonely guitar and drum pattern, which really allows him to shine. With Bleeds for the People, he ups the ante a bit to deliver an inspiring message. This is your year Fox, glad to have you back in the game.
Also, Brandon was featured on a banger with Taylor Bennett, Shay Lewis and Donnie Trumpet called Dancing in the Rain. If you snoozed on that, press play below.
Astonish – The Who Tape (mixtape)
After numerous astonishing singles (see what I did there?) the mixtape is finally here. With production assists from Born Ready, IKON, Saba, Akt-One, Slot-A and Sgull, plus killer verses from Scheme, John Walt, Lungz and Jus’Q, this project is not one to miss. You can stream it below or download it here. Either way, let’s help Astonish do numbers.
Marvelous – N***a I’m The Shit
The good folks over at Private Stock have once again laced me with some new heat that y’all need to hear. Introducing Marvelous. He’s a Chicago bred 25 year old rookie to the game, and he’s ready to play. With a tightly crafted Serious Beats, this serves as a perfect introduction to the gruff voiced MC. Honestly, he had me at that Haitian reference, but I’m sure there’s something in here for you as well. Press play.
Felly – This Shit Comes In Waves (album)
Following up the Don’t Change video and the release of the title track, Felly is ready to unleash 17 tracks of wavy vibes to the masses. The production is smooth throughout, and the lyrics are definitely on point. I’m guessing this will get plenty of spins throughout the rest of the summer. If you are at work, you can stream it below, or you can click here to download the whole thing.
Jayem x Logan – Err’day (video)
Produced by FlashBeats, this hard hitting single now has a simple, yet hard hitting video to match. If this joint doesn’t motivate you to go out there and get it, then I don’t know what will. Support the real by pressing play.
ShowYouSuck – Loose Slices 2 : The Mixtape or Something
I’ve been waiting for this project for a minute now, so I’m happy to present to you all Loose Slices 2. This project is a compilation of previously released cuts (all bangers) and a few new ones to hold us over until his official debut drops. You can, and definitely should download the project (click HERE) and stream it below. If you love dope raps, dope beats, and dope pizza, then ShowYouSuck is your guy. Grab a slice and press play. Shoutout to Pequod’s.
IKON – High Noon ft. Pivot Gang
The Gang’s all here as they offer the assist to the talented IKON. Take it from me, this track BANGS so it’s best served at loud volumes. No exceptions.
Saba – Temporary ft. Tink
It’s been a while since we heard new heat from Saba, so this is a joyous occasion. Linking up with another quickly rising Chicago artist Tink, this smooth number really gives me a Fugees Ready or Not kind of vibe, which is a great thing. If you’re in the NYC area, be sure to check out the first New York concert for Saba and a few other Chicago artists (Hurt Everybody, NoName Gypsy and XVRHLDY) coming at you live from SOB’s on the 23rd!
Chaboki – Pop The Trunk
Chaboki made waves with his debut project Boki Bandz (peep that here), and now the Chi City by way of Toronto transplant is ready to drop more bandz. Pop The Trunk is the first title from his upcoming Boki Bandz 2 mixtape, Expect the tape to drop before the month is over.
