RH Weekly Playlist Volume 5
We've been out of it recently with SXSW and Spring Break exploits taking up most of our time so let's play some catch up with our favorite new music from the past couple weeks:
1. Kaina - 4u

I love this song and EP so much. Kaina is truly one of Chicago's brightest gems when it comes to true passionate music.
2. Mulherin - Alone

A smooth R&B track oozing in vibes.

One of my favorite Lofi Hip-Hop Soundcloud producers, Redpest showcases his trademark chillhop sound on Angelic.
4. KilaMDaPro - Grateful

An unconventional drum rhythm makes Grateful all the more funky from the DMV producer.
5. Falcxne - Nothing I Can Do

A glorious flip and a head knocker meant for riding in the vehicle with the roof down.
6. Cae Jones - Honestly

A surreal vocal delivery and minimalist production make Honestly a must listen experience.
7. Jayaire Woods - Frat Rules Freestyle
[iframe id="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/421601601&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true"]
A hype lyrical display and delivery from the Chicago MC.
8. Sean Deaux - Iceberg Slim

You could say its a gang thing as Sean Deaux and Jayaire Woods rip apart the beat.
9. MANWOLVES - Weather Is Warm
[iframe id="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/416560986&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true"]
An uplifting track with a lyrical dexterity that is uncanny. Manwolves continue to be one of the freshest acts inhabiting the Chicago scene to date.
Cae Jones - Hunnit [Video]
[iframe id="https://www.youtube.com/embed/B9vBeiFiSiI"]
Directed by Itenji Films and produced by KZA K' Lee, Cae Jones has unleashed his powerful new song & visual with "Hunnit". Cae displays a sing-song flow that he uses to carefully and confidently dissect the beat; a surgeon with the words. The calm of his delivery juxtaposed to the backdrop of the punk rock synth line and pumping drums creates an ever interesting dynamic between music and performer.
Shooting the video in his native habitat of Rochester, New York, Cae returns to his roots while expanding his horizons through music. His versatility and poise on the mic certainly make him stand out in a sea of carbon copy MCs.
