Young Loose, better known as "The Village" artist Kembe X has consistently put out some of the hottest music to come out of Chicago since hitting the scene with 2011's Self-Rule which landed at the top of Forbes' best free music of the year. The latest video from Kembe is this Endocolor-directed piece for "Rap Game" off his Soundtrack II Armageddon release earlier this year. Hard at work in the studio for a projected end of the year release, the 18-year-old with a golden grill isn't stopping anytime soon, check the video below.

[Video] TV On The Radio: "Million Miles"
TV On The Radio has been making great music for just over a decade now and today released their latest single "Million Miles" along with a fresh visual via Myspace's "Music Video Collaborations With Artists We Like" video series. The video is more of a short film that follows a disgruntled gardening show host that can't seem to follow the direction to talk about outdoor crafting. She chooses instead to go on a forest adventure where she meets fairies, takes pills, and sings songs. Check out the video below, check out the stream via NPR or buy the track here.

[RH First Glance] Exit Ghost: "Speaker"
Chicago's own Exit Ghost released a new song today, "Speaker", off their upcoming sophomore LP, Elston, due out November 5. Check out the track below and be sure to catch Exit Ghost this Friday at The Hideout with Jon Drake and The Shakes and Belleisle.
[RH Premiere] whysowhite: "Live At The Firehouse"
Live at The Fire House, is the latest release from the highly eclectic seven piece band, whysowhite. The group spans four states, multiple genres and a smattering of haircuts and fashion styles that keeps fans guessing. In a congested market like Chicago it can be very hard for a band to differentiate themselves but whysowhite is easily one of the most fun acts coming out of the city right now. Live At The Fire House was recorded exclusively at the group's home, a converted Fire House (Engine co. 86). The firehouse was built in 1898 and is the last free-standing wooden firehouse in Chicago's North Center where whysowhite writes, rehearses, records, and lives. The album was recorded there on April 6th, 2013 and features many of the songs on their self-titled debut, self-titled album, two new songs, and a cover of Common's "The Light" for which there is a video below. They perform tonight at Township to celebrate the release with Pinegrove and Treehaus, tickets available here.

[RH First Glance] Danny Avila: "Tronco"
Spanish EDM artist Danny Avila has been turning heads for some time now, without fully breaking through his own glass ceiling. Cracks have begun to form as Avila has strategically placed himself alongside some of the biggest names in international dance music. Tiesto, who's Musical Freedom label released "Tronco", has taken Avila under his wing recently by adding him to the lineup for his "Greater Than The UK" tour with Calvin Harris. The 18-year-old is well on his way to the big leagues, playing Pancha Ibiza regularly and steadily rising through the ranks of dance music. Check out the song below, available for purchase at Beatport.
