Win and Woo catches the attention of PRMD label. Releasing their remix track for Violet Days who gained popularity with Hotel Garuda on their collab Fixed On You. Your Girl originally was an independent release until massive success brought them to PRMD. The Chicago duo did justice for the original with their rework.
November saw the release of another remix. LA duo Cosmos and Creature get the remix treatment, another couple of rising artist in the mainstream pop music spotlight. Getting a lot of attention from their hit single Young, Win and Woo swoop in and add the final touch. Perfectly maintaining the youthful exuberance of the original track, and creating a dance music anthem that can match the energy of Louis the Child & Icona Pops Weekend track. A combination of talents made timeless.

Phoelix gets a few verses,NoName also makes some noise along withJean Deaux, Ravyn Lanae and Smino. Monte Bookerhops on te MPCs for one track.

Marko Stat$ and Aced Spade are quite the pair. An MC needs a good beat smith and whenever these two get together it is dynamic. Among tracks like Locomotive and Free (Moving Forward) from Aced LP Positive Vibes Only, the two prove it again with Nobody and Back To The Basics that their creativity is limitless. Stat$ with the old school free style hip hop flow, this rising artist from Uptown, Chicago is gonna show these supposed Hip Hop and Rap artists in the mainstream how its done real soon. With lyrics of passion and action.
Vic Mensa has gotten a lot of attention for this song. Going to great lengths to make sure the truth is known. He has made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and performed 16 Shots with riot police geared performers. The song and video itself includes a excerpt of a police recording. Vic Mensa is becoming a voice for the unheard against the establishment going as far as comparing the battle between Dakota Access Pipeline and Native Americans on their own land to Black Lives Matters movement. This is a human vs government interest matter and must stand with eachother to fight injustice. Join Vic Mensa at Standing Rock or lend support by visiting their website.
Young Label from Chicago, Nuworld is growing with talent from the city. One of the many artists of the label Kayo teams up with theMIND on a smooth beat by Donato. Released in late October a music video for Like That follows just a few weeks later. Simple idea for the video produced by Cole Bennett, similar to I Wonder music video, all that as needed for a quality video is a familiar environment and some enthusiasm. Spittin verses out in a park with nature for visuals and a few time lapse edits for a good mood setting. Putting the focus on the artist and his lyrics.
Beat Smith Knox Fortune has a good record working with dope artists from Chicago. His beats are just irresistible to the ear. So reputable artists like Chance, Towkio, Joey Purp & theMIND can count on him. Being the other half of Leather Corduroys alongside Joey Purp KAMI is no stranger to his deep nostalgic basslines. Just releasing 2 singles in recent weeks with Knox, earliest being Foundation, a heavy beat and with KAMI spittin verses raw and passionate. Home Movies goes in another direction. A bit more upbeat like you are in a retro movie anthem with slow bass and high synths. The track gets a music video setting taking place in a diner and the main character fittingly dances as if she was in a Cyndi Lauper video. Makes you feel like you are in a different era but these tracks are timeless!

Taking a step aside from his comfort zome GQ the Fool presents an energetic uplifting beat as opposed to a raw urban track with Chad London King. The two artist enjoying the fruit of their labor, kick it on a boat on Lake Michigan for their music video. Pay attention to the message from the video. From squeezing a dollar out of 15 cents to cruising on a vessel over water with beautiful women. A visual and lyrical metaphor that the struggle through hard times pays off with hard work.
