"taking y'all to school, and y'all ain't getting out in early June."
Here's something new from theWHOevers, a duo from all parts of Illinois. Emcees DotKom and J. Arthur take to Chicago's Wicker Park for "It's Like That", an anthem for the little guy on the come up. Their vocals flow well over the laid back production, making this perfect early morning music. Watch the new video and below, and look for more from theWHOevers on RH soon.

[Video] Red Hot Chili Peppers: "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie"
Red Hot Chili Peppers' frontman Anthony Kiedis definitely showed up for the orgy he sings about in "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie". He sports a porno-stache, and some kind of jacket that just makes me think of that scene from "Seinfeld" where Jerry talks about needing to purchase new robes if he were to participate in a threesome. The video is pretty tame though, and features the Peppers doing what they do best, playing music outside while people watch. Their festival ready sound returns with their new LP, I'm With You, which will be released August 30th.

CSS: "Hits Me Like Rock" (Dillon Francis Remix)
Mad Decent's new partner in crime Dillon Francis, is a beast. I've heard countless remixes from the Moombahton specialist and am kicking myself in the head now for missing his set at Camp Bisco X this weekend. Here he takes the catchy CSS single and re-works it to an even more appealing banger, that will be heard at plenty of DJ sets as the rest of the summer. Hit the jump to download + stream.
