Today we a are happy to premiere a new soulful EP from emcee Dotkom (1/2 of theWHOevers) and produced Japandrew (Vertual Vertigo). The two linked for this 7 track EP Daydreamer , a calm, 90s inspired offering. The EP is a perfect relief to the cold Chicago air, and lends itself to a long line of classic Chicago boom bap, and stays extremely cohesive with only one feature from J. Arthur (theWHOevers & Ezekiel 38. Stream and Download Daydreamer below, and be ready for much more from Helluva Year 2012 artists, theWHOevers in 2013.

Chase N Dough has continued to prove his growth as a rising local artist, from producing for countless Chicago artists (King L, LEP, Sir Michael Rocks) he also has a strong mic presence (as seen on Orchestra), all while leading heading the SBSG movement. Today we are proud to premiere the Chase N Dough produced "Orchestra" feat. Lezy, a song in which Dough states he, "got inspiration for this track from wanting the listeners hear a different sound from me. I think it's time to jump into another lane of music.

#LOD affiliates Nick Astro & Auggie The 9th link up and knock out "Rainman Flies", the latest single from Astro's forthcoming SUPER16 project. The track was inspired by Eminem's "Rainman" and both emcees give the last line of that song its own concept over an instrumental produced by 2008ighties in house producer Sani. Astro & Auggie show a strong chemistry and seem to feed off each others style to make this joint a must-download!
It's a fierce, unforgiving world out there. More so when a pair of feline individuals ' a la AlunaGeorge ' sneakily upload their brilliant R&B and call themselves Lion Babe ... (All of which while I watch a brilliant episode of Human Planet with David Attenborough's voice in the background...). Not long after did blogs start to pick up on the idea and fall prey to the awesomeness of the bait that you can listen and download to below : Lion Babe - Treat Me Like Fire [...]

Shouts to Brain Bandits & Gianni Lee

Boy / Girl German-born duo residing in Brooklyn. Haerts is a promising pair that have just recently dropped their first single “Wings” and started on a string of live shows on 7th of December 2012. Fairly recent you might say. But that's how it goes these days. Bands come and go. This one however seems like it's gonna stick with us for more truly great tracks in the future. 'Wings' features the vocals of impressive singer Nini Fabi and the production help of St. Lucia . A must watch for next year amongst all the others and [...]
![[Video] Chuck Inglish: “Four 12s” feat. Da$h & Retch](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4693143_lg.jpg)
Chuck Inglish is here with some new material which was featured on the recent Fools Gold Loosies project. "Four 12s" features Retch and Da$h, who (Da$h) I certainly hope to hear more out of in the near future. Chuck & Action hit the city tomorrow night, so end the last Saturday of the year on a good note.
The Brooklyn Trio Flatbush Zombies had a strong emergence in 2012, and things are only looking up as we near the new year. They recently dropped some new material titled "MRAZ". Classic Zombie juice for those that know. If not, get in tune .

The EP was recorded the day after Thanksgiving at Soundscape Studios, before Curren$y's show at the Congress. This EP really brings things full circle, as Curren$y dropped the first Closed Sessions joint, “ Rapper Weed ” in ’09. The full EP was produced by Thelonious Martin, who previously produced "Talk My Shit" . Family, Friends, Holidays. Enjoy. As always, lookout [...]

Gianni Lee has been very busy as of late with his clothing venture, Babylon Cartel since Rihanna was spotted rocking their jacket. From The Sky Comes Hope is a mix that jumps from around from genre to genre, showcasing Gianni's diverse taste throughout the mix. "We decided to not release a track list with this because we want to surprise you with our musical palette this time around." Shouts to Gianni & BC. {resourceTitle} by {username}
DJ SuchNSuch hit us up less than a month ago with his Numbers For November EP, but the producer is still working and today he releases a new instrumental entitled "Negro League". It would be very interesting to see someone try to jump on it and rap a couple of bars over it. {resourceTitle} by {username}
Frank Leone is back with a new track and a dope anouncement as he unleashes "Death From Above", the first single from his collaborative 'tape with L.A. producer Gudina. Frank's laid-back vocals and the incorporation of live instrumentation by Gudina make is a very smooth joint to vibe to. Basement Therapy is set to drop around the first quarter of 2013 and will feature guest-appearances by the likes of Malcolm London, Martin $ky, The GTW, and more. If you haven't yet, listen to Frank's debut Deep Ocean
![[Video] Tree: “Something Mean” (feat. Blanco Caine)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4682886_lg.jpg)
Here's a grimy new visual by Tree for the single "Something Mean" featuring Blanco Caine off the highly-anticipated project Tree Featuring The City . I must admit that hearing Tree sample Ellie Goulding's hit record 'Lights' caught me a little off-guard, but I was not surprised at all that he was able to flip it in such a creative way and murk it. The Chicago artist is one of the best producers in the game and a heavily underrated emcee. Watch Tree and his homie Blanco roam the city while spitting out rhymes and ad-libs below.
In Detroit there is Big Sean... and there is Guilty Simpson. For many reasons both emcees do a good job each representing the sentiments of Detroit, but let's just say Guilty & Apollo Brown have found the holy grail. Whenever these two link, they emit nothing but the blue collar attitude that swerve's in and out of D-town. Hit the jump for today's offering "Parkour" a bonus track from their recent collab effort Dice Game . Parkour (Bonus Track) by Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson
A little late on the trend here, but who cares, I discovered S O H N (SOHN) while treading the interwebs for new material to listen to and this just popped up. And honestly left a mark. And I'm not talking crap here. S O H N produces some delectable electronic tracks that just stick to your mind like mice get tapped on a glue-pad. You wanna say to yourself you'll find a way to get away from the sound but you can't, S O H N hooked you from the first listen of 'Oscillate' and you want [...]
Mac has been on his eclectic grind as of late releasing free music under aliases (Larry Fisherman), as he has been intrigued by the production aspect of Hip-Hop as of late, showcasing a broader talent level than some may have expected. Today Mac drops "Doodling In The Key of C Sharp," a seemingly improvised track he whipped up on the piano, most likely in the very recent past. Stream below.
