Smoko Ono: "Pass The Flame" (Feat. Jarred AG, Saba & Sterling Haze)
Chicago's own Smoko Ono offered up this single, "Pass The Flame" off his upcoming Smoko and Friends project due out later this year. Smoko has been putting in his time around the city and "Pass The Flame" is a dope glimpse into what he's been cooking up. For now, check out the single, featuring some fellow Chicago cats that do their thing, per usual.
"Boy don't drink your life away/Make them bloggers type away."
Jarred A.G.: "So I Go" (prod. by Smoko Ono)
Jarred A.G. & Smoko Ono have teamed up once again for a new loosie entitled "So I Go" which will hold us over as Jarred keeps working on his follow-up to the RH-premiered Luxury Tax. Not sure when that 'tape will be released, but this new cut and "Barbarians" has us very excited to hear more!

Jarred A.G.: "Golden Noose" (Prod. Smoko Ono)
Smoko Ono's work with Dally Auston and Jarred A.G. has cemented his place as one of my favorite up-and-coming producers, his beats are too crisp and truly unique. He recenlty linked up once again with his brother Jarred and to celebrate that Summer is just around the corner (although the weather today might have you thinking otherwise), the two have put out a new single entitled "Golden Noose". I'm not sure where this joint will land but in the meantime you should definitely download his Luxury Tax EP, if you haven't done so already.
RH First Look: Jarred A.G.
Native Chicagoan Jarred A.G. recently dropped the first track off of his debut Luxury Tax titled "Play Around". Featuring Dally Auston, the laid-back, snare snapping production comes from his younger brother Smoko Ono. The track acts as a great representation of A.G.'s spot in Chicago hip hop right now. Working with other up-and-comers, he has positioned himself as an intriguing new artist that's building a name through quality releases and dope collaborations.
This current positioning is evidence of a strong progression as an artist. No longer do does his material go up because of the potential, rather it is due to the merit of his work and how sharp his new material sounds. Now he is on the verge of dropping his first project to date, a six track EP that is just a taste of what's to come. When asked about his debut album Stepchild, he told us that he has " files and files of music that we’ve worked on and are still working on". What does this mean for fans and listeners? We sat down with the young artist to get a better idea of things to come, the work he's done in the last year and where he's at now.
