[RH Video Premiere] theWHOevers: "How I Do"
"That bang bang, and we back to that romance."
theWHOevers made our list of artists that killed it in 2012 due to their live shows, solo side projects, and multiple videos. However, the crowned jewel of their 2012 was their latest mixtape, RedTape, which dropped in the fall. Today we get a new video from the mixtape, as K N O W P A S S I O N and Sol Films add visuals to the laid back and classic sounding, "How I Do".
Watch the video below.

Chase N Dough has continued to prove his growth as a rising local artist, from producing for countless Chicago artists (King L, LEP, Sir Michael Rocks) he also has a strong mic presence (as seen on Orchestra), all while leading heading the SBSG movement. Today we are proud to premiere the Chase N Dough produced "Orchestra" feat. Lezy, a song in which Dough states he, "got inspiration for this track from wanting the listeners hear a different sound from me. I think it's time to jump into another lane of music. It features an artist in my camp(SBSG), his name is Lezy, a producer as well.' Dough noted a shift in his sound would come in our Record Producer interview, and today is a shining example.

[RH Album Premiere] Saba: GetCOMFORTable
One of the best rookies of 2012 has got to be Saba of the PIVOT Gang. He came on fairly late in the year, but in the last couple months has really showcased his potential as an emcee, a producer, and a performer. For those of you who grabbed the loose singles, and kept up with his production credits, today we have his proper debut album, GetCOMFORTable. The new project is 14 tracks deep, and a very personal and cohesive release. Beyond boasts of his rapping ability, Saba brings listeners records about self-confidence and self-doubt, a great picture of a young man coming up in the windy city.

[RH Premiere] Martin $ky x Saba: "OG Platinum"
Today we are happy to premiere a new cut from some of our cities brightest rising acts, Martin $ky & Saba. After going back and fourth on twitter for some time, the two eventually linked and have since recorded multiple tracks together. I can't say that I saw this collaboration coming, but it definitely makes sense. Today's "OG Platinum" is loose single, that probably will not be featured on either's next project, but is a perfect introduction to what they have coming. Lookout for another collab from the two, on $ky's LP releasing early next year. Until then you have, "OG Platinum" from #TheComeup 2013 artists.
