Exclusive | The Two Friends – Solitaire (Original Mix)
Posted by dshaq on May 1, 2012
Electro music has slowly been growing on me, especially house music. What The Two Friends did with this song is pure magic. The beautiful synths, quality production, and complimenting vocals all mesh to make this a must download. Now you can stream the song below, but you will have to go to their Facebook page to grab the download, which I strongly encourage doing!

“Brain Cells” | Chance the Rapper from Austin Vesely on Vimeo.
After just posting his mixtape, 10Day, Chance dropped some visuals to one of the stand out tracks. Although the beat is rather relaxing and slow, Chance’s flow on this song is on point. Visuals done by Austin Vesely. If you’re in Chicago on May 3rd, tweet #ASAPCHANCE to get Chance to open up for A$AP Rocky. If you have yet to download the tape, hop on that because it’s a MUST DOWNLOAD
Hip-Hop, Videos | Eddy B & Tim Gunter – Tomorrow (Official Video)
Posted by dshaq on April 25, 2012
Eddy B & Tim Gunter bring some visuals to their latest release, Tomorrow. The video does a good job of portraying Eddy’s struggle growing up and the emotion of the song. The beat really fits the mood of the song too, which allows Eddy to get his story across.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Chance The Rapper – 10 Day
Posted by dshaq on April 24, 2012
Now I’m a little late with this, but this is too good to not post. Chance The Rapper, a fellow Chicago native, delivers a masterful mixtape combining beautiful piano riffs, great rhymes, and clean vocals. Chance has been creating a great buzz not only in Chicago but also across the internet, and this tape is the reason why. I’m blown away by this production, it’s top notch, even sampling one of my favorite indie bands Beirut. This will be on repeat for quite some time, which is perfect with Summer around the corner because there are some great cruisin’ songs on it. This is definitely a MUST DOWNLOAD and look out for more Chance in the near future.
Hip-Hop | Wiz Khalifa – Work Hard, Play Hard
Posted by dshaq on April 23, 2012
This song is bomb in so many ways that you just have to purchase it. After his Allderdice mixtape, Wiz gives us this brand new cut from his album, which is due out in August. Wiz goes hard on this one, like B.A.R./Kush & OJ hard, and this beat isn’t lacking either, produced by Benny Blanco and StarGate. Throw this on the weekend playlist and get ready to hear it on the radio, a lot.
Hip-Hop | Action Bronson – A Simple Man
Posted by dshaq on April 22, 2012
Some new Action Bronson for this Sunday night. Action’s sound is so unique to most rappers we hear of today and that’s why he is one of my personal favorites. This time going in on a Tommy Mas beat, Action delivers some quality wordplay, much of which is about food, but also goes a cappella for a short time during the song. Add this one to your summer/driving around playlist and expect more Action in the near future.
