[RH Premiere] Seven1: "Black Boy Lost (Can't Save Em)"
Seven1 made a really important record over the summer by the name of "Death of Drillin'". The record examined Chicago's Hip Hop scene, and the context in which the music was being made. It caused some people to get upset, and others to pump their fists in support. Since then, Seven has been fairly quiet and released just a few records. On Monday, the southside emcee will release a new EP, Forever Dies Today. This morning we are premiering Seven1's "Black Boy Lost (Can't Save Em)", which is on the new project and takes another look at the flashing lights of the music game, and the problems when it overshadows reality. Listen and download it below.

He kicks off the steady stream of new features with this smoothed out cut, "Radio", featuring Jinx The Natural. This is a winner.

[RH Video Premiere] Matty Rico: "Sweet Home Chicago"
Today we get a new video from Chicago born & bred emcee Matty Rico (formally of AudioDax), which features Brice Fox, The Proletarians & Constant L. Burts. The track and video are a clear plea to the city they all have grown to love one way or another, while commenting on the epic violence that has been thriving for countless years now. We definitely support the message, and so we did a concise interview with Matty to better understand everything that is involved with this release. Lookout for more music from Matty Soon.
[RH Video Premiere] Rockboy K9: "Team Dope"
Rockboy K9's EpicJanuary will drop on Valentine's Day. Today we premiere his latest video for "Team Dope". This a little lighter than some of the previous material from Rockboy, who has told me previously that he strives to find a balance between the celebratory and more serious cuts. He still manages to drop some gems along the way as well. Watch his new video below.
