Stadium Status: "Special" (feat. ShowYouSuck and Chris LeSage) (prod. by ElSchmitty)
The team at GoWhere Hip Hop just premiered a hot summer track by Stadium Status, "Special," with features by our homies ShowYouSuck and Chris LeSage with production by ElSchmitty. "Special" keeps it real with the ladies as they let these anonymous girls know that, sometimes, they're not as special as they may think they are. It's cool, we're not trying to dance with you, anyways; it doesn't matter that we don't know how to dance. Sidenote: Major props to Ant for that cover art!
If you're feeling Chris LeSage's super smooth R&B voice, make sure you catch him tomorrow at Underground Lounge! He'll be sharing the stage with Freya's Revenge, Okapi, and some of my personal best friends, Run and Punch, followed by a special Burlesque fundraiser! You can find information on the show here.

Chris LeSage: "Home Alone" (prod. by Tha Hydrox)
Over the weekend, MikeJaxx gave us a glimpse at a new sound with ShowYouSuck's "Watching Walking Dead." The song also introduced some of us to local singer, Chris LeSage, with that ridiculously catchy R&B-inspired "Pretty brown round/Driving me wild" hook. LeSage and Jaxx's production team, Tha Hydrox, are back for more with "Home Alone."
The song represents a huge musical change from what we're used to with Tha Hydrox's production, but I love their willingness to expand into more music. Also, LeSage is doing his part to bring R&B back. Ladies and fellas, prepare yourself, because this dude's voice is smooth. "Home Alone" is just a glimpse into what LeSage is capable of as he prepares to release his album Alpha, Violet later this summer.
ShowYouSuck: "Watching Walking Dead" (feat. Chris LeSage) (prod. by MikeJaxx)
What do you know about zombie raps? With vocals from Chris LeSage and production by Tha Hydrox' MikeJaxx, ShowYouSuck changes up his style to educate us about The Walking Dead. Jaxx switches up the trap sound he's known for with a drop transition full of smooth keys and LeSage's relaxed vocals. Will this prove to be the next musical evolution in the ShowYouSuck/MikeJaxx sound? We'll all just have to pay attention to Chicago's hometown hero.
Listen to "The Walking Dead" below, and be sure to catch ShowYouSuck at Alex Wiley's Club Wiley release party on June 6th.
"When I make songs I usually like to celebrate moments in my life and share my interest. This time around I wanted to celebrate the fact that I had recently finished getting caught up on the Walking Dead series. I got in the studio with Mike Jaxx to start working on a new sound, and this is the first record from this process. Hopefully I made a song for people who love watching the Walking Dead." -ShowYouSuck
