Vic Mensa: "Hollywood LA" (feat. Lili K)

If you follow Vic Mensa in Twitter and/or Instagram, you're probably aware that the Chicago emcee has been chilling in Los Angeles quite frequently these past few months as he's wrapping up the highly-anticipated INNANETAPE. Clearly influenced by the smooth vibes Cali provides, Vic recorded "Hollywood LA", the latest leak from the 'tape featuring vocal-assistance by Lili K on the hook. Check it out below.


Lili K: "Interlude" (prod. by Peter Cottontale)

There is quite the buzz surrounding Lili K's forthcoming project My Favorite Things, there have been shows, interviews and features done by Lili these past few months that have helped raised awareness for the talented songstress' music, but up until today we had yet heard of a single track from the highly-anticipated project. Finally today, Lili and Peter Cottontale decided to release the "Interlude" from the 'tape and it was definitely worth the wait. My Favorite Things is coming July 1st!


Lili K Announces New EP Entitled "My Favorite Things"

Rising songstress, Lili K, has already given fans and listeners more than a handful of great records even though her first EP came out just two years ago. Nonetheless, her recent work with local Hip Hop artists has shown us a quick preview on her growth as an artist and Lili's forthcoming project should be her best yet. Today, the Chicago Reader announced the official name for the EP, called My Favorite Things, via their Gossip Wolf feature and also stated that it has a tentative release date for July.


[Video] Lili K: "Highlight the Moon"

It's been a good week for Chicagoan singer Lili K. In a week where her features on Chance the Rapper's "Acid Rap" received some much-deserved praise from publications such as the LA Times, the very talented singer released the video for her latest single off of her EP, "Metal Petals." Entitled "Highlight the Moon," the video, which was co-directed by Addison Wright and Lili K herself, showcases the ups and downs of the fictional relationship between Lili and Chicago tattoo artist extraordinaire Jason Hoodrich. The use of a Super 8-esque filter adds a soft, nostalgic saturation to the video that perfectly matches the song's reflective theme. It's always the attention to details that can help elevate the level of quality; good choice, guys.

You can download "Metal Petals" on Lili K's website here. If you're in Chicago, be sure to check out Lili K. and Peter CottonTale live TONIGHT at The Shrine (2109 S. Wabash) at 7pm for free!
