It was definitely a busy week in Chicago, with a bunch of new music dropping as well as last night’s Smokers Club tour stop at The Congress featuring Curren$y, Method Man, Big K.R.I.T and Smoke DZA. As we begin “Halloweekend”, and gear up for the glorious day Monday will be, we at RubyHornet got your weekly dose of announcements and new music from everyone rooting against the Packers this weekend. Those folk include, YP, Julian Malone, Common, Sir Michael Rocks, LEP Bogus Boys, Que Billah, brandUn DeShay, Vic Spencer, D2G, Their Ocean, King Louie, Supreme Regime, Project Mayhem + More.
YP and Rockie Fresh linked for “Insane”, looking to be off Rockie’s upcoming Drivng88 Project. Earlier in the week Rockie dropped the first single off Driving 88 “Doesn’t Matter”. Get ready Rockie season has begun.
Common is back like he is every week, whether he is promoting his auto-biography, or upcoming LP, Chicago’s son is back in the celebrity spotlight. This week we got the behind the scenes of the “Blue Sky” video, as well as thoughts on his White House visit and the importance of positive thinking.
2008ighities crew standout Julian Malone hit us with the most important bars he’s ever written in “October 20th” stating…” it means everything to me… I put my all into it, I cried while recording the last verse… it’s heavy.”
Sir Michael Rocks is chugging right along coming off a very dope release with Premier Politics, he and Curren$y announced over Twitter, that Mikey has signed to Jetlife Recordings. The #skinnyniggaoftheyear spoke to the homegirl Ashley Outrageous while in Miami about the signing. Lookout… TPC x JETS.
Vic Spencer and D2G released their mixtape Hard Bars, which features local homies Mathien, Sulaiman, Que B.I.L.L.A.H., Gemstones, JDP, and more.
Que B.I.L.L.A.H. dropped some inventive visuals for the newest single “Sign Language Over The Radio”. directed by Jermaine productions, s/o 18th & State in the video.
brandUn Deshay released visuals for the joint “Ur Fresh!” off his All Day Deshay LP that dropped last month. I really he means the girl from the video in the song title…
Project Mayhem released the second single from their upcoming Industry Night LP. Titled “Block Good to see the Mayhem Machine still going strong.
King Louie linked with Elelphilms for some good ole hood visuals for his track “Too Cool” off his previous mixtape Chiraq Drillinois. Today we get some BTS footage from the shoot. Look for the visuals soon as we approach Louie’s debut Dope & Shrimp.
The homie Charlie hit me with some new music from a local crew by the name of Supreme Regime. Definitely a different sound, that you can tell is still in progress, but there is no doubt these kids have talent. checkout “Lost & Found”.
Top 5
The scariest day of the year comes this Monday, which will not only bring little children in fairy outfits and drunk college students, but also robbery. In honor of Freddie Gibbs – Cold Day In Hell (self proclaimed “all about robbery”) and LEP Bogus Boys – Now or Neva (a ski mask is the cover), which also both come to us on Monday, it is only right to dedicate this week’s top 5 to that cause. So I have decided to choose my Top 5 LEP Bogus Boys music videos. They usually involve some sort of robbery…
