Chance The Rapper is currently the most talented Hip Hop artist outta Chicago, Illinois (May 12, 2016). His flow and ideas are progressive, but not without his own personality. Old heads will hate this album. The artist doesn’t conform to archaic rap stereotypes. Chance keeps it street with a book smart perspective. That’s Midwest style.

For the last couple weeks, we’ve been waiting on edge to hear more about his Chance 3 project… I love it! This is just a sample of what’s to come for the poet, emcee, dancer, educator and leader too. The Coloring Book album is the creation of a young god with genius level brainpower. Plenty of soul and collaboration on this to follow his SURF, Acid Rap and 10 Day albums.

GOOD to see Chance and Kanye working together, regardless of how ya feel about the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star. Both have been critical in bringing the EDM to the jazzy and funky Chicago Hip Hop, which has since spread out to Wisconsin, Missouri and many other parts of the re-surging Midwest music scene.

Chance The Rapper pushes the boundaries of race, class, gender, religion and music. Hip Hop and humanitarianism can be one and the same. This is much bigger than Southside Chi.

From “All We Got” :

“I get my word from the sermon
I do not talk to the serpent
That’s the holistic discernment
Daddy said I’m so determined”

Eryn Allen Kane – “Aviary: Act II” EP

Band : Eryn Allen Kane
Title : Aviary: Act II
Release Date : February 1, 2016

The gorgeous Eryn with the silky butter voice returns with the sequel to Aviary. She, like myself, went with the number 1 on Act 1, like my Chapter 1, and the roman numeral II for Act II with the second, like my Chapter II. They love number games. We love talent and authenticity. I enjoy this EP. She got me thinking about my past. I enjoy looking at her photos too. Detroit player.

Eryn Allen Kane – “Aviary: Act 1” EP

Band : Eryn Allen Kane
Title : Aviary: Act 1
Release Date : November 16, 2015

Eryn Allen Kane, of the Eastside of Detroit, helped me out a lot with this beautiful project of sad songs. Though she might feel trapped in a birdcage, I’ve literally been trapped in firewalls, shocked and tortured inside walls that no one else could possibly understand. I love this EP, though. The North is in a renaissance. Who knows what they’re thinking… Let the birds sing. Eryn might be one of, if not my favorite, female singer right now.

Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment – “Surf”

Cole, Jamila Woods, Janelle Monáe, Jeremih, Jesse Boykins III, Joey Purp, King Louie, Knox Fortune, KYLE, Liam Cunningham, Mike Golden, Nate Fox, NoName Gypsy, Peter Cottontale, Quavo, Raury, Saba, The Omy's, The Social Experiment
Title : Surf
Release Date : May 28, 2015
Label : SaveMoney, The Social Experiment

Donnie Trumpet and Chance The Rapper‘s group The Social Experiment piece together a beautiful and complex work of art for the city – Surf (May 28, 2015). The gang is getting more clouted up now, so they were able to get some other rappers on there too. More than anything, this shows a bright future for Hip Hop in a land that could use some shine. The trumpeter is a coo nuance.
