Haile: "Another Murder In Chicago"
Haile had great success going in over Easy Mo Be production on his last release, "Puppet Master". He does it again today with this new cut, "Another Murder In Chicago", dusting off another Easy Mo Be record for this important and sobering track that Haile dedicates to those lost due to Chicago's gun violence. He writes:
"This track is where I relate the current murders in Chicago to the Hip Hop Community, and how we as a Hip Hop community need to WAKE UP! And stop being both the Offender and the Victim. Rest in Peace to Porsche Foster and Rodney Kyles Jr, and to every other brother and sister who we've lost to the violence of the streets of Chicago."

B. Woods: "Nice Guys Finish Last"
"Hate ain't nothing to play with."
Chicago's B. Woods got hipped to rubyhornet through Murph Watkins (Chicago's unsung A&R) a couple months ago and has since sent over a couple tracks for us to check out. His latest, "Nice Guys Finish Last", is a winner in my book. Peep the new record below and look for his mixtape, The Lesson Plan, dropping soon.
