SqueakPIVOT Releases "Perfect For U"
PivotGang is making waves across the board these days, from Saba touring all around the world to Joseph Chilliams rising within the Chicago scene it's easy to see that this is the group's moment. SqueakPIVOT just put his name fully into the arena with them with his latest release, "Perfect for U" now streaming across platforms. Squeak has been producing tracks for his crew for years but this is his first release on his streaming pages. "Perfect for U" is an unabashed love song featuring Xone White on vocals in a time when artists are more interested in making songs about the end of romance than the romance itself. While this isn't Squeak's first release, it is the first one available on all streaming services. Check it out here

Joseph Chilliams wins with Henry Church
Pivot Gang's Joseph Chilliams released his debut mixtape, Henry Church, about a week ago and then celebrated with a sold out show at Schubas. The project, which consists of 13 songs and features homies such as MfnMelo, Saba, NoName, and others, is cohesive project chock full of pop-culture references, regular-guy observations, and a fun energy throughout. That's not to say that Henry Church is devoid of seriousness or melancholy. Many of Joseph's observations are told with an air of concern and a subdued tone, especially when remembering John Walt, who was tragically killed last spring. From the cover art, to the videos, to the music, it is clear that Chilliams is serious in not taking himself too seriously. And he's winning. Enjoy the project via Soundcloud below.
