Future – I Won feat. Kanye West
Future’s long awaited album Honest is due this month, and to start the promo, he liberates “I Won,” featuring Yeezus himself. Fitting Kanye gets the guest verse here, matching the rest of the songs theme. Stream it below.
Chance the Rapper – Home Studio (Back Up In This Bitch)
Chance has a home studio now and a production crew called Social Experiment. So obviously his latest song is called “Home Studio (Back Up in this Bitch)”. Nate Fox and Nico Segal produced, the track features Chano reflecting on some of his successes over the past year, how he’s got the labels telling him he’s not playing fair. The beat is funky, so get your dancing shoes out. Enjoy! Solo Chano is back up in this bitch, AND he’s got that Young Thug flow on too!
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

Joey Bada$$ – Hilary Swank (Official Video)
More visuals on this wonderful Monday morning! Joey B dropped the “Hilary Swank” video, showing a young 14 year old Joey in a cypher, a current Joey rockin a sold out show, and interestingly enough, the Kendrick Lamar Hot 97 interview. Make sure you stick around until the end too, there’s a nice tribute to the late Pro Era member, Capital Steez. Enjoy!

Lollapalooza: What to do outside of Grant Park
Lollapalooza is all about the weekend as a whole, not just Grant Park part. Sure, 138 artists and groups on 7 stages will take over Grant Park August 2nd-4th, providing over 30 hours of music to over 300,000 people, but the fun doesn’t stop there. All weekend (starting Thursday August 1st), we have events picked out for you to make the best out of the experience. Why not spend Lolla like the VIP you see in the mirror?
Thursday
After an exclusive advanced screening of Focus Feature’s “The World’s End,” Filter Magazine hosts a party to start a glorious and sure to be exhausting weekend at Logan Square Auditorium. Free drinks plus live sets by Smith Westerns and MNDR, the event starts at 9PM and is strictly 21+. Sponsored by PBR, do312, Fender, UBER, and more, be sure to give us a shout if you see us hanging out!
2013 Lolla Must Sees
My favorite post to write every year, and this year is no different. Many may be complaining that this year’s Grant Park lineup doesn’t compare to other major music festivals around the world, but those people aren’t looking hard enough. Last year I suggested catching Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, as they were destined for stardom (and boy has it hit hard, with a sold-out world tour approaching and 3 tracks in the Billboard Top 100), and Givers, who were up there for my favorite performance of 2012. So same drill… you will not find The Killers, Mumford & Sons, Phoenix, or even Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper on this list. While I still highly recommend checking out all of those acts, here are the lesser known artists you can’t miss.
Well, Yeezus Leaked
It’s happening people. Yeezus has leaked and the internet is going crazy. Seriously, the internet is going crazy. NOT saying ACITM has downloaded the album, but word is links are taking 1-2 hours because of the masses trying to get it ASAP. So while you’re waiting for your copy to finish up downloading, check out what people on reddit and twitter are saying about it.
Week that Was (6-13-13)
On a beautiful Chicago day following a beautiful Blackhawks win, we bring you the “Week that Was.” Featuring a ton of young talent and some groovy dance tracks, the tracks are perfect for some background work music or some riding around town music. Enjoy and let us know what you think! Australian band San Cisco kicks it off with “Awkward” and 16 year old soon-to-be-rap phenom Bishop Nehru follows with “Fickle Mind$.”
San Cisco – Awkward
Bishop Nehru – Fickle Mind$
