ShowYouSuck: "Wayne Gretzky (CONGRATS CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS HOCKEY RULEZ)"
About two hours ago, the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup with two goals in 17 seconds. While the majority of the city took to the streets in a sports-fueled riot, ShowYouSuck was with MikeJaxx to record a quick loosie to commemorate the Blackhawks' 5th Stanley Cup. Rapping over French Montana's "Ain't Worried About Nothin'," Show's "Wayne Gretzky (CONGRATS CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS HOCKEY RULEZ)" is tinged with hockey-inspired raps, name dropping the one hockey player (not named Casey Jones) that everybody knows, Wayne Gretzky. Sports!
Congratulations, Chicago Blackhawks. Congratulations hockey. Congratulations Chicago. Congratulations, rap music.
Martin $ky: "Wood$"
So apparently I missed the official release of Martin $ky's "Wood$", but the track is too dope not to post it here. Martin unleashes a new sound and vibe, which we haven't heard from him ever before and it showcases the versatility that the young emcee possesses.
Na$im Williams: "Foolish Hearts" (feat. Nico Segal)
Na$im Williams is arguably the most consistent producer in Chicago, dropping quality material at least once every month. The Treated Crew member recently linked up with Nico Segal and worked on a record entitled "Foolish Hearts", which you can now listen below.
[Video] Chance the Rapper Live at SOB's (6/20/2013)
Chance the Rapper, arguably one of the hottest young rappers in the game right now, has been touring the country in support of his latest project, Acid Rap. At his headlining show at New York's legendary SOB's, the people over at Good*Fella Media shot a small video recap of Chance's set last night. Featuring a medley of "Pusha Man," "Favorite Song," "Juice," "Fuck You Tahm Bout," and a special cameo appearance by Travie McCoy.
It looks like the Chicagoan rapper is having loads of fun on the tour, and more importantly, the crowds are responding positively to him. His next block of tour dates are with Mac Miller, so be sure to let him hit you with that Zan dance when he comes to your city.

[RH Premiere] #100Trill: "Chain Clean"
My LOD brothers are back at it with their next #100Trill drop, "Chain Clean." MikeJaxx steps back up to the mic to remind everybody he has as many bars as he has beats. Grade Aplus, in turn, drops another solid verse with his laid back delivery. Make sure you catch that Harold's reference in there, where it's the only acceptable place to get mild over hot sauce. "Chain Clean" had me take out the Pennies in My Pocket, buying some TurnUpSnacks, then taught me how to keep it 100Trill. You see what I did there?
Check out the song below, and if you haven't yet, make sure you pick up Grade APlus' #TurnUpSnacks here.
[Video] Kit: "Fuck You" (prod. The Drum)
Chicago's production duo, The-Drum, were recently named one of the best artists for June by Spin Magazine, but we've known about their talent in RH for some time now. Now they're back with a cool collaboration with Kit entitled "Fuck You". Elevator shot a very dope video for the song too! Check it out below.
[Video] Chris Crack: "The Interlude"
Chris Crack brings us a new visual for a relatively old song in "The Interlude", which you can find on his debut project D.O.P.E..
