Since I have caved into the peer pressure of the blogger world I feel my first post needs to be flossin'. So what better way to kick it off than with zero he say she say and be all about the dopest music right now in my eyes. So I guess this will be the CHICAGO LOVE post. You will soon see why my heart is still in the Windy City and why I think every other city needs to step their game up.
THE COOL KIDS...The duo of Mickey Rocks and Chuck Inglish are straight out the Go (Chicago) and one of the sickest groups I have heard in a REALLY long time. Their rockabilty and rhyme style is some of the freshest shit since the 80's, yes I said it, 80's. The Cool Kids are taking it back to when hip hop was fun and all about getting ill with your music up as loud as it will go. I suggest that everyone go out on May 20th and buy their album, The Bake Sale, if you don't you're a lame! Also check them out live if they hit your city, they are on tour right now.
If you would like to get more info or listen to some dope shit please visit The Cool Kids website or their MySpace page.

HOLLYWOOD HOLT...Another one of the coolest up and coming rappers from Chicago. Hollywood Holt's energy filled rhymes just won't leave my head. Ever since I got my hands on his mixtape I can't seem to not play it at least once a day. If you every thought mopeds and yellow pants were lame, you were wrong, and Holt seems to prove this point, treated. Right now I'm really blast'n his new song "Get It How U Live It", it is not like most of the other songs and the beat is kill. I totally support this dude and hope he drops by the "A" in the near future. Keep bustin out those dope hits Holt! and I'll keep bang'n em.
Yo go get your own FREE! copy of his mixtape at the Hollywood Holt website or if you just want to bang that track visit his MySpace page.

MILLION $ MANO...Is the self proclaimed connoisseur of connoisseur's from the Windy City that doesn't just have a style game you can't match, he also makes beats and mixtapes that you aim to duplicate. Mano isn't just motivated by his name to reach a net worth of million dollars, but in my eyes he is well on his way to accomplishing that goal. Mostly known for spinning some of the hottest parties and sickest shows in Chicago. Mano also produces and dropes mad beats for Hollywood Holt, Mic Terror, and others, so now you see why I just had to introduce you to Million Dolla. Mano on a few tracks does some rapping too, so watch out for that. Right now Mano is on tour with M.I.A., which is a sick artist, and will be playing a few of Kanye's "Glow In The Dark" shows. He has a mixtape out on his MySpace page that you can download and rock while in your car or on the train. I play it at least every other day, that Peter, Bjorn, and John vs. Kayne West is the hotness. If your looking for a sick new remix for your myspace page I would totally click over to Mano's page and grab one asap.
To Finish off my first post I will just add that the new Lupe Fiasco album "The Cool" is the sickness. It is a total play till the end album, you never need to change the songs, unless its to replay the last one you just heard.
Well I'm going to leave it at that and say, stay fresh and keep flossin'. Much love to the city where wind blows and deuces from the dirty.
