Curren$y Does His Thing When It Comes To Rap

Curren$y has made a habit of releasing free projects on a moment’s notice. And when it comes to giving fans a consistent product, he’s one of the best. He’s so good at that, the The Spring Collection isn’t just new music, but also features Curren$y curating the listening experience. On the intro, he clearly states the […]

[RH Review] ShowYouSuck: “Dude Bro”

ShowYouSuck has been one of the more interesting artists in the Chicago landscape for a minute now. Since establishing himself as a witty lyricist and connoisseur of all things “rad” on his One Man Pizza Party trilogy, released throughout 2011-13, Show has carved out a niche unto himself with a character and personality to match.

[EP] Isaiah Toothtaker X Jacob Safari: “?OTHING”

Sometimes, it seems like Tuscon rapper Isaiah Toothtaker never rests. Less than a month ago, a music video for the Blue Sky Death remix of his collaboration with Gunplay, “Frownin,” was released showcasing the two fronting a cult. Toothtaker isn’t one to shy away from controversy or risk taking, illustrated by his previous mixtape’s title, Illmatic […]

[EP] Against Me!: “True Trans”

At one point in time, Against Me! represented the future of punk rock. I remember my Senior year of high school when I bought their first full-length, Reinventing Axl Rose. You could just feel the energy and desperation in singer/guitarist Tom Gabel’s growl… man, to be 17 and listen to that album for the first time […]

[EP] Rich Jones: “3Peat Vol. 1”

Rich Jones was stranded in Chicago’s China Town at one in the morning and had two choices as he puts it: Slog his way back to the Northwest side, or see if he could get a hold of friend and collaborator Doc Da Mindbenda. Fortunately for us, Rich headed over to the Grindhouse and recorded […]

[EP] Icky Blossoms: “Revisions”

Other Saddle Creek bands, like Azure Ray, The Faint, and especially Bright Eyes, paved their own ways in the indie rock music scene. […]
