Shouts to Castle for the find. C’monnnnn…my dude is the quintessential mall-chain rapper, but the funniest part is him calling shorty with an international code on his iPhone. Laffs. Somebody get ya boy. *dead*

ALICIA KEYS – SLEEPING WITH A BROKEN HEART

This shit must be R&B day or something, which is weird considering I just ditched some “Adam Morrison’s” that planned on riding the bench to a title ring. Treated! New Alicia Keys, entitled “Sleeping“. The last A. Keys joint that leaked was too Disney for my tastes, but this one has a pretty ill beat. Partake!

VIDEO: MATEO – GET TO KNOW ME

The first official video from Mateo. This song is dope! The video is ill to me cause it’s the real day-to-day of an up and coming artist trying to win. I appreciate the honesty in the song & the visuals. If you like this, you’ll love Mateo’s live EP, “Get To Know Me: Live at Swing House” Do that!

LUPE FIASCO – SAY SOMETHING + ALL THE WAY TURNT UP (FREESTYLES)

Amidst the jokers and fakers, Lupe Fiasco has remained the truth in the booth. His talent displayed on tracks is often effortless, and these two new freestyles, “Say Something” over thew new Timbaland x Drake track, and “All The Way Turnt Up” are no exceptions. I for one can’t wait until We Are Lasers drops, but until then Chicagoans have something to look forward to this weekend, because Lupe is performing on Halloween at the Congress Theatre. Indulge in the two new freestyles!

CHICAGO | 10/30 DOM PÉRIGNON AT RSVP GALLERY

The benefit of being fly and having fly homies is you’re always into some fly shit. The good gentlemen of RSVP Gallery here in Chicago open their doors on October 30th from 5-7pm and dole out a bit of the Don Pérignon for the attendees as they peruse and shop the illness that is RSVP’s product selection. Partake.

COP THAT! | DYLAN THOMAS & HAZ SOLO – ALL JOKES ASIDE

Milwaukee’s Best flow, some ill shit you get drunk to (I been wanting to say that for a minute about these cats), Dylan Thomas & Haz Solo dropped their project, All Jokes Aside on the 20th and it’s got a bunch of ill joints to rock to. I’m sensing this is like a Jaylib-esque project, with both Dylan & Haz switching off flows and beats to make the project. It seems to have come out quite swell! Check out one of MY favorite joints off it, RedBlueGreen, and then hit that link to partake and support some real schitt!
