Here’s Asher going in on Missy’s classic. See him returning to the word wrapping, free flowing verses that got him love in the first place. The Greenhouse Effect Vol. 2 is coming.
These tracks are for the people that hate a certain type of genre or for people that hate every single song regardless of what it is. The people that wish the Beatles were still around and take every opportunity to tell you so. These songs are enjoyable for everyone; watch as the foot discreetly starts tapping along to the beat and notice how hours later the stuck in the 70’s music fan is still humming the song they heard in your car.
This is a massive post. 2 parts. Mentally prepare yourself. We’ve picked out essential songs for every single situation you will find yourself in this summer. Guaranteed. Whether you’re: gearing up for a party, crusin’ down Lake Shore Drive, on the beach with friends, driving with people who only like The Beatles and hate everything else, rolling with the OG’s who miss 90’s music, hanging with the homies or trying to impress the ladies, itching for a chance to display your dance moves, or returning home alone after a great Chicago summer night, ACITM has got you covered. A comprehensive Spotify playlist is available at the bottom. Enjoy and feel free to add on!
The Classics
These are the songs you can get away with playing whenever, wherever during the summer season. Anyone can be at your party or in your car, and they will generally be ok with the tracks. The “I miss the golden era of music” people will even be satisfied.
Chance the Rapper drops the latest single from Acid Rap, with video included, called “Good Ass Intro.” A soulful mixed house-bounce euphoric, proclaiming Chance is back “Even better than the last time.” We’re counting down the days for this thing to release. Listen and watch below, enjoy!
This production is insane. Brought to you by NYC producer Harry Fraud, who on Friday will be releasing a mixtape called Adrift featuring the likes of Mac Miller, French Montana, and Bronsolinio himself. Beats like this are perfect for Action. Enjoy!
The Savemoney takeover continues. Joey Purp drops his latest single, “Marvin.” Working on a follow up to The Purple Tape, Joey slays the soulful backed beat.
Kembe graces us with his first solo project since Self Rule. The new EP has 7 tracks, featuring Julian Malone, Alex Wiley, and Isaiah Rashad. It’s the first of three EP’s Kembe is set to release this year. VILLAGE UP.
The long awaited Wrath of Caine is finally here. G.O.O.D. Music’s Scottie Pippen brings fans an 11 track mixtape, with Pusha getting help from Rick Ross, Wale, French Montana and more. You knew the production was going to be on point, it is, and the fire in Pusha’s raps really set the bar high for his upcoming album, My Name is My Name. Here’s what he has to say about the mixtape…
When I drop music, I aim to make u muthafuckas cry!! My true fans/family know I strive for perfection. If Def Jam is waiting on my album, what the fuck makes u think u aint gonna wait on this mixtape? It’s like when a women/man is a virgin, if u love that bitch/nigga U WILL WAIT!!
Whoa there (Big Sean voice), looks like Kendrick Lamar has officially become ACITM’s favorite rapper. Papoose is nice on this one too, and I mean nice in that this verse is MEAN, check it out. From the latest Kay Slay mixtape, “Grown Man Hip Hop.” Which verse are you guys feeling more?
Where outta town rappers come and gotta tuck in they ice

Kami dropped another track from his debut Light last night, and it’s the best one to date. Featuring the cream of the crop of Savemoney rappers, “Home” provides a great representation of what is the future (and the present) of Chicago hip hop. Produced by Samiyam, make sure to take a listen and then download Light when it drops later today.
