Well if you weren’t expecting your Sunday to get turned on its head, don’t press play below. Jay and Jay decided to drop “We Made It” this morning, and OH BOY. So many quotables here… I’ll leave you with a few before you listen on your own.
RATKING – So Sick Stories (feat. King Krule)
This is a must listen. Ratking is a 3 piece group from New York, led by 18 year old Wiki and Sporting Life. Check out the group wandering the streets of NYC, joined by fellow XL artist (and acityinthemidwest favorite) King Krule, in the brand new video for “So Sick Stories.” Word is Young Guru was helping finish up the album, so add that to your 2014 most anticipated list.

Week that Was (4-16-14)
This should probably be called the year that was, but to help with tagging, we’re sticking with “Week.” Away for some time, but getting back on track, expect more and more ACITM music coverage as I finish my studies and head back to what has become the mecca of music, Chicago. We’ve got an old favorite in The Ataris coming to town Friday night, with an Orwells homecoming in April.
Without further ado, let’s get to the music. Starting us off are Sunny Gicz and Gabe Niles, aka Sunny & Gabe, a Virginia duo that varies from a hazy overcast to a strong trip hop pounding bass. They’ve got a mixtape called “Free Candy” that’s available for download now. Expect new music soon from these two.
Sunny & Gabe – Godzilla

ACITM is SXSW Bound

ScHoolboy Q – Californication (feat. A$AP Rocky)
From the dudes that brought you “Hands on the Wheel,” “Brand New Guy,” and an epic Noisey back and forth, Schoolboy Q and A$AP Rocky are together again for a bonus track off Q’s Oxymoron. “Californication” lives up to the hype, and proves that these two together are a treat every time. Stay tuned for a full review of Oxymoron in the upcoming week.
The O’My’s at the Metro
Joined by Chicago friend Chance the Rapper, The O’My’s put on a soulful show at the Metro Friday night. If you haven’t listened to these guys yet, get to it– The O’My’s embody Chicago talent. Check out our photos from the show below!

Bieber is Drunk in Love… Are You? 9 Valentines Day Cards
What better way to say I love you (or I like you) this Valentine’s day than with another round of ACITM Valentines. Send your boo one of the cards below, because we all know Kanye West can express his feelings better than we can ourselves.
Justin Bieber – Confident feat. Chance the Rapper [High Quality]
The long awaited track is here. Chance x Biebz. AND it’s actually pretty smooth. Make that real smooth. Chance jumps on the verse towards the end of the song and destroys the track… guess we finally know where that “ooo-woooo” mating like call came from during Chance’s Chicago show last week. Stream it below! Let us know what you think!
