So, I finally found a name for my weekly radio show on WindyCityUnderground.com.  Taking the suggestion from JR Bang and Bionce Fox, we’re going to dub it Closed Sessions radio, so remember that. This week my guest on the show was author/poet/activist Kevin Coval, who spoke in-depth about his new book “more shit Chief Keef don’t like”.  Kevin talked about the inspiration for the book, the circumstances surrounding Keef, as well as what it says about Chicago.  Coval also read two poems from the book, which will be released October 18th.

Nascent, the producer behind tracks with LEP, 50 Cent, Young Giftz, CyHi The Prynce and more, also stopped by where he talked about working with up and coming emcees, as well as his own forthcoming instrumental project.  Check out the interviews below, as well as music from Styles of Beyond, Brother Ali, Martin $ky, Nacrobats, Lupe Fiasco and more.
