YP feat. BJ the Chicago Kid - “Roll Up”
Lenny and I are doing a new thing where we shoot videos for songs we like and then premiere them. This is the first one. Hope you enjoy it!
Lil’ Herb - 4 Minutes of Hell (part 2)
Never thought I’d see the day where Chicago had multiple rappers that don’t sound the same out at once. If you need me, I’ll be over here clutching my pearls.
“Yeah, man. I mean, I went to a good high school where a majority of the kids weren’t from the South Side or West Side, but grade school or middle school. You work a summer job and there are kids that don’t come back to work the next day. This shit is like this: If you live in Chicago, you know someone that got shot or died. That’s just how it is. A lot of places aren’t like that … It’s really fucked up.”

The Palmer Squares - MC Showcase 2011
Interesting that these dudes are habitually not mentioned when Chicago’s rap scene is talked about. They’ve been around for a minute now.
Juice - Chance The Rapper
RIP Pacman
Chicago rap is so fun right now, you guys.
King L(ouie) - Val Venis (WWF entrance remix)
This combines two of my favorite things ever: Attitude-era WWF/WWE and Chicago rap.
