[Mixtape] YP: "Restless"

YP is still Restless in his pursuit for greatness and he proves in this brand new 'tape that he will stop at nothing to accomplish his goals. With features and production by the likes of C-Sick, DJ L, Lil Bibby, Mikkey Halsted and more, this project definitely showcases that true Chicago sound. Restless is 15 tracks-long and very much worth the download!


Aubrey Plaza For GQ

Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza graces the pages of GQ for their August 2013 issue. The magazine caught up with Aubrey to talk about her new raunchy coming of age film The To Do List, her dream role, and her high school years. GQ enlisted the help of photographer Todd Cole to shoot Aubrey in a variety of bikinis for the issue and really captured a side of her we don't normally see. Check out the rest of the photos below as well as the behind the scenes video. I've also included t the faux College Humor trailer of Aubrey playing a role she was born to play, Daria.

First official photo of André 3000 from Jimi Hendrix biopic

When I first heard talks about another biopic about Jimi Hendrix, I have to admit I was pretty stoked. As a lifelong Jimi fan, I was excited to see the music legend resurrected on film. I was just curious to find out as to who would play the lead role, then I found out Andre 3000 would be the man. There's been a lot of issues involving the making of the film, and there was a point in time it looked like it wouldn't get made.

Lucky for us, the film will be premiered in September at the Toronto International Film Festival. What do you think of Andre 3000 as Hendrix? Let's pray this film is better than the Hendrix film made in 2000.

[Free Album] MPulse: "Sofa Gun: The Sequel"

Mpulseis back better than ever with the official follow up to his Sofa Gun mixtape, Sofa Gun: The Sequel. Over more than a year's work, the Chi Town emcee reinvented his sound and strived to write down his illest lines to date, the result? A more confident artist is heard through the speakers with witty lines and well thought out concepts over clean and original instrumentals provided by Keef Boyd.

Na$im Williams: "61 Lilies" (feat. Sulaiman, Scheme & Doc)

 

I've had several discussions with Scheme concerning his current position in the local scene, we've both agreed that --although he's one of the most respected and talented emcees in the city--there's still a lot of people that overlook him and his skill-set. Thankfully, real recognize real and Na$im Williams got Scheme plus Sulaiman & Doc (who are also two dope cats from the city) for a banger entitled "61 Lilies". This hip-hop at its finest with two incredible verses over a bouncy instrumental provided by Na$im.


Rosie Huntington-Whiteley For Muse

With the help of photographer Guy Aroc, Muse magazine's recent issue has an awesome fashion spread featuring British model/actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Guy is known for fashion/celebrity portraits and did not disappoint with this set of photos. The photo spread is very colorful, featuring Rosie in various summer dresses and swimwear really capturing the summer vibe. Muse's fashion spreads are always on point, not only for the gorgeous models, but for the photographers they recruit. The magazine seems to always find the right model and the right photographer to create some really great photos. Check out the rest of Rosie's photo spread below.
