[Video] Ibn Inglor: "BLACK PRINT"
Ibn Inglor is a promising up-and-coming artist from Chicago who has been able to make his music be heard all across the country just based off the quality it exudes. No connections or fake interactions with people in the medium. That type of realness is palpable in his latest album New Wave (which we sadly missed on posting when it came out) and especially in "BLACK PRINT." The single is more of a statement by Ibn on the industry, bloggers, and his craft without any sugar-coating. In a time in which fans clamor for raw and passionate music, Ibn fits in perfectly with his erratic style. The track received a visual treatment and it premiered on The Fader yesterday, make sure you watch it and give his 'tape a chance.

Akbar, Pugs Atomz, Psalm One, Griff, GLC, Treated Crew, SaveMoney, ProbCause, Legion Of Dudes, Martin $ky, Pavy, Onis and many more are featured in Welcome To The Grindhouse, available for free download below.

[Video] Alex Wiley: "Own Lane"
One of Chicago's most buzzing artists invites us into a psychedelic world through the visual for "Own Lane," the trippy-like cinematic clip from Alex Wiley. The Village member partnered up with the homies over at Visual Mecca and conceptualized a 3-part music video series that'll feature the one below, "The Woods," and "Suck It Revolution." "Own Lane" was first shown to a select audience as part of a #SpeakEasy event series that will also premiere the other two visuals on November 21st and December 5th.
