Naledge: "Greetings From Over East"

“Managers pushed the pop angle, told me rap on beats with no samples.”

Naledge was amongst the emcees featured yesterday on MTV2’s Sucker Free Chicago.  Naledge was interviewed at Leader1354 alongside artists such as GLC, Mikkey Halsted, Sir Michael Rocks, YP and others, who MTV referred collectively as the Young OG’s.  These are the guys that were really putting in heavy work and laid a foundation for the current happenings in Chicago Hip Hop.  Naledge’s latest record, “Over East”, speaks to that point as he raps about his respect out of town vs. in the windy city, and being asked to change his sound for more mass appeal.  The song also features Young Giftz, one of the newest artists to breakout in Chicago.  Both emcees shine over production from The Fr3shmen.  This is the first single from Naledge’s upcoming mixtape #bestbrain.
