Sean Falyon - SFBE CAKE
Falyon continues his freestyle series and goes in over a Rhianna cut. Loving all these covers he's putting out accompanying the songs.

Graph explains his lack of control in the strip club in his new visual. This track goes hard, I like it a lot.
D. Mose x D-Edge - Skyway
Stay Humble's D. Mose links up with Str8 Slammin's D-Edge for this new joint. I like what Gibbs is doing for Gary. We all know there are some great artists coming out of that city. Glad to see that they are teaming together and making a scene for themselves.
Rockie Fresh - Fly High (Prod. Thelonious Martin)
Another new cut from the kid Rockie Fresh. Can't wait for this "Driving 88". The buzz around this project is nuts and i'm certain it will meet expectations. Look for the release January 23rd. Until then, check out "Fly High".
Voyce G.I. Go x Diggins x Lucky Luchie - Parlay Partay (Teaser)
New visual from Voyce and Diggins' collab project, "Sunrise2Sunset". Look for the entire video later today or tomorrow. Just depends on when it drops, I got shit to do today!!
Onis - Orientation (EP)
I have to take this morning to catch up on dropping some new material from many Chicago artists that I have gathered just this week. The Stay Humble crew has been putting in work as usual and has dropped off several new projects to make your NYE more enjoyable.
Onis dropped a full project just a few weeks back, but he wasn't finished! Check out some details about the project below and hit the jump to download.
What is "The Orientation?" It's a beginning to a life long journey, geared towards sustaining an Onis(Honest) living. Capturing real life themes and situations, "The Orientation" offers something the regular Joe's and Jane's can relate and attach themselves to. "You know before every job or new stage in life, there's an orientation or introductory period. This project is the prelude to what's to come, an introduction. I want people to progress and grow with me on this path. It's a lengthy road to ultimate success. I just want to provide real, good music along the way." With sounds provided by Oneder of SKWOD and S.C, Onis lays down the foundation.- Onis

The Mp3 was released a while back, but this will now be the first single off their upcoming project, "James Kelly". The track is different, but I like it. A Bun verse makes everything okay.

Thelonious Martin - DMNDS (Instrumental EP)
Below, Thelonious Martin apologizes for making another beat tape. Not necessary sir, we will happily accept it. Hit the jump for details!
I vowed to never drop another beat, but even Michael Jordan came back to the NBA twice. I took some time off to work on upcoming projects with DJ RTC, Vic Mensa, and Action Bronson so 2012 is looking up. Yet, before the year is up I wanted to give a preview of what’s to come. DMNDS includes a few remixes showcasing the talents of the New Jersey crew Tastemakers NJ, and a few unreleased beats. The last beat tape I released ( [Super] ) was in July, and it’s been far too long. So enjoy this small EP with your holiday leftovers and eggnog.

DJ Mechanically Incline - The Union Vol. 5 (Mixtape)
A couple days back, the good folks over at www.fakeshoredrive.com announced that they would be releasing some Chi classics in the coming year. FSD alongside Jaycee will be digging through the vaults to uncover some lost gems. Here is the first offering. I'll let Andrew explain more in detail. (Side Note: Gotta love the big fat typo on the front cover!)
Happy Holidays (whatever you may celebrate) from the FSD family. Today, we’ve reunited with frequent contributor Jaycee to bring you DJ Mechanically Incline’s The Union Vol. 5 mixtape, which is a classic street set from 2003-04. The project features rare, unheard and somewhat unreleased music from the early-aughts.
Back in 03-04, Kanye was about to blow, Lupe was beginning to bubble, and a young MC by the name of Bump J was running the streets–and DJ Mechanically Incline was able to impeccably capture this era on this project.
Released in various stores around the city, The Union Vol. 5 featured music from Bump J (including a rare diss to Kanye and Cap-1–both beefs were quickly deaded, obviously), Kanye West (with Ye producing for relatively unknown artists, Da Truth), Sly Polaroid, Lupe Fiasco (before the mixtape surge), Count of L.E.P. Bogus Boys, Parkay, Cap-1 and a very young Skooda Chose. Trust when I say this is a rarity.
In the new year, Jaycee and FSD plan to bring you classic and out of print Chicago mixtapes and albums, that haven’t yet found life here on the internets. We’ve got a lot of heat in the chamber, so stay tuned in 2012. Today, we bring you this gift. Enjoy.
A-Mafia - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Over the weekend someone told me that some of the posts were getting to hood and I new some more party music... this is what I think of that!! Lol, i'm kidding. I appreciate all types of music, but it all depends on what is released that day. I would truly appreciate any feedback my readers have, so please comment on what you like and what you don't. Until then, enjoy a new joint from A-Mafia from his upcoming project, " Under The Scope".

Tape"... we it better make up for it! Hit the jump for the details. Features from Meek Mill, Red Cafe, Lloyd Banks, and more.
Fat Joe x Chris Brown - Another Round (Official Music Video)
Fat Joe feat. Chris Brown "Another Round" from Riveting Entertainment on Vimeo.
I really do like this track, but the video is a little over the top. I just can't get into these types of visuals. What the hell is going on here?! The visual has nothing to do with the song, there is no story, and i'm just seeing a bunch of cliches.

I posted this already you say?! Nope, Wayne's verse got the axe and is replaced by A$AP Rocky. After the jump, check Banner talk shit about bloggers. Ouch homie! Gotta take the good with the bad people. If people want to interpret shit, let them. Isn't that why people listen to music?! It's like reading poetry, or any type of literature. Writers don't break it down part by part explaining shit, its up to the reader to interpret. Not all bloggers make a bunch of money off starting shit. I can only speak for myself, but I do it because I enjoy the music and want to share it with anyone who lends an ear to me. We give publicity to artists who may never have any other outlet, may never have been know by people without sites like this. Complain all you want, but we're helping artists build their brand and promote their music. If you don't want free promotion or don't like what we're doin, we can just stop supporting you. Don't know why artists want to shit on fans like that though... I digress.
