Earlier this week we posted several interviews Sway did with local artists as part of "Chicago Week" on his web series "Sway's Underground". Yesterday an interview with Mr. SoulTrap himself, Tree, was released. While sitting in the New Era store on south State Street Tree discussed the state of the Chicago scene, the Soul-Trap movement and offers a few bars off the cuff as well, check out more below.

[Video] MC Tree G Live @ Pitchfork Music Fest

MC Tree G's path to rocking the stage at Pitchfork Fest this past weekend was paved by his life experiences, two superb Sunday School tapes and his Soul Trap production that took people off-guard by its raw and street-oriented yet soulful sound. Tree definitely seemed to grasp the moment and enjoyed the fruition of his work as he performed at Union Park with a smile on his face and a positive energy that transmitted onto those who were lucky enough to catch his set. Unfortunately, I wasn't part of that group of people and will have to settle with these two new videos Pitchfork uploaded of Tree performing "The King" & "Devotion", which are able to capture some of the aura surrounding the set, although it probably isn't anything compared to the real thing. Luckily for those who are in the same predicament as me, Tree has a show in The Shrine on August 3rd and it's free if RSVP here!
