New music from Sir Michael Rocks is always a good thing to hear. The heavily anticipated Banco project takes a short pit stop before arrival with "In A Minute", featuring Da$h, Ab-Soul, and production from Larry Fisherman aka Mac Miller. Above is artwork for While You Wait. Could this possibly be a short tape to hold fans over until Banco ?

As Sir Michael puts the finishing touches on Banco, he will release a new project, While You Wait, to help bridge the gap. “In A Minute” should hold you While You Wait for Banco.
"In a Minute" is Sir Michael Rocks' new song in preparation for his next project, While You Wait... Featuring Ab-Soul and Dash with production by Larry Fisherman (AKA Mac Miller), "In a Minute" has a smooth, bass heavy beat with a stand-out verse by Ab-Soul. I'm a sucker for Sonic the Hedgehog references, and the MC begins his verse hitting the trifecta of Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails; how could I not be a fan of that? You can check out "In a Minute" below.
If you're a fan of Sir Michael Rocks , chances are you have been waiting on his new solo album, Banco . Well, I have some good and bad news for y'all. Banco has been pushed back so the Cool Kid can finish it up properly. But that doesn't mean he's leaving us without any new music. In fact, early this morning he dropped the lead single off his upcoming While You Wait... project. "In a Minute" is a murky slab of paranoia featuring Dash and Ab-Soul along with production from Larry Fisherman [...]
Do the drugs don't let the drugs do you... Sir Michael Rocks releases new audio this week in the smooth bit "In A Minute" with verses from Ab-Soul & New Jersey lyricist DA$H. Sporting what's becoming characteristic dark and wavy background from Mac Miller' s production moniker Larry Fisherman, the track is a cool few minutes and exhibit in narcotics consumption. [via] The post Download: Sir Michael Rocks ft. Ab-Soul & DA$H - In A [...]
Sir Michael Rocks straddles the line between a good and a bad trip on “In A Minute.” Featuring a who’s who of young druggy talents in Ab-Soul, Da$h, and Mac Miller’s alter-ego Larry Fisherman on the beat, Sir Michael of Chicago floats around the deep recesses of his mind, not totally sure of what will be around the corner. Drugs are bad kiddies. This song is not.

This year's Rock The Bells music festival marks its 10th anniversary with a jam-packed lineup, including "virtual performances" by two deceased artists, Ol' Dirty Bastard from the Wu Tang Clan and Eazy-E, who will be performing with the ongoing reunion of Bone Thugs N Harmony. The MC Supernatural actually freestyled the all-star line-up earlier this evening. In full, here's what the lineup looks like: Big K.R.I.T., Black Hippy (Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, and Schoolboy Q), Bodega Bamz Bone Thugs N Harmony, Brother Ali, Chase and Status, Common, Curren$y, Danny Brown, Dilated Peoples, Dizzy Wright, Dom Kennedy, E-40 and Too Short, [...]
It's not a coincidence that Chance the Rapper 's second mix tape, Acid Rap , starts with a song called "Good Ass Job." Chicago's hottest new rapper, born Chancellor Bennett, is a calculating presence, and a reference to the aborted title for what would become Kanye West ' s opus My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy serves as a sort of mission statement: Chance never really knew a hip-hop world without Yeezy, and so his music inhabits his hometown's most famous [...]
XXL really knows how to put its Freshmen Class to work.

As I recommended this tape to a friend of mine today, I described Chicago emcee Chance the Rapper 's style in three words: manic, expressive and creative. The young artist has been catching eyes right and left for the last six months culminating in the release of what may be one of the strongest hip-hop projects this year. From start to finish, Acid Rap takes the listener on an emotional journey uncovering both the entertaining energy of the Chance and the darker depths of his psyche. The tape features ninja favorites Action Bronson, Childish Gambino and Ab-Soul [...]
The promotional roll-out for XXL 's 2013 Freshmen Class seems to be coming to a close with one hell of a finish. Just as they've done for previous classes, XXL compiled material both never-before-heard and recently released for a mixtape showcasing the talents of Action Bronson , ScHoolboy Q , Joey Bada$$ , Ab-Soul , Angel Haze and the others. All of them drop some previously unreleased heat on here, particularly Joey and Bronson on "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt". You can stream, download, and view the track listing below. [...]
Arguably the biggest snub from this year’s XXL Freshman list, Chance The Rapper is still getting his time in the limelight with his new release, Acid Rap . Check out the visuals for “Smoke Again” featuring another talented dude who did make the cover, Ab-Soul . Stream the trippy tape right here before heading to ChanceRaps.com to download.
You guys already know that we don't typically post full-length projects, much less mixtapes, but Chance The Rapper comes with an easy exception to this [...]
Chicago talent Chance The Rapper has seen his praise only rise since being left off this year's XXL list, not that that's a big deal, but regardless it's all been well-deserved in anticipation of today's release of Acid Rap . Chance brings one of the more unique combinations of stylings in hip hop today, and this 13-track compilation puts it all on display - highlighting his unique and comical ad-libs, soulful vocals, all over a very Chicago-esque production. Sure the tape is punctuated with highlights from Action Bronson, Ab-Soul , Childish Gambino and more, but this tape's all about Chance - [...]

Hype's been bubbling around the release of Chicagoan Chance The Rapper's Acid Rap for a while now. Read the usual drop-off points for Hip-Hop content around the web and buzzwords like "next big thing" or "best tape of 20133 attach themselves to conversations about the project. Granted, some of this mythology is Chance's own doing and others the work of the authors. Can't say that Chance isn't unconventional, because he's a far cry from what the most noticeable contingent of South Side young guns have been doing. But it's Chance's local rag the [...]

Chicago’s Chance The Rapper has built up quite the buzz in 2013 thanks to a string of singles from his new album Acid Rap that drops today. It took me a few songs to get used to his unorthodox, high pitch sing-song delivery, and his subject matter is more youthful and lighthearted than most of the MC’s on my radar, but that doesn’t mean Chance doesn’t take rap seriously, he just has a lot of fun making his unique brand of hip hop. His latest single “ Smoke Again ” features an appearance from Black [...]
