Treated Crew

If you don’t know Treated Crew, now is the time to get familiar. They’ve been coming out of Chicago hard as a mothafucka and are lead by already flourishing artists Hollywood Holt, Mic Terror, and Million $ Mano as well as a handful of strong up and coming MCs like Sulaiman, Gzus Piece, ShowYouSuck…and a few more powerful Chicago artists…theres got to be a roster somewhere or some shit.

Even some of our Mixtape Monday DJs, Stefan Ponce and Skyler Mendoza rock the Treated crown. Watch these dudes on their rise to power and check out the first few tracks of the #TreatedTuesday collective.

“Smoke Killas” – The O’My’s

I just came upon these cats last year and have been loving their funky sound. Can’t wait to hear their “Chicago Style Mixtape” when it drops! Peep The O’My’s new single, “Smoke Killas.”

“When they lay me six feet deep, what will they say of me…”

Why you talk like that?

Checked out BBU and ShowYouSuck the other night at Schubas on the North Side and they killed the spot! BBU’s new mixtape Bell Hooks has hit the streets and is quickly being praised as the dopest thing to come out in 2012. If you haven’t copped BBU’s new mixtape then…do that. Or a band of murdering monkeys will kick in the door of your workplace and rape you. Murderous raping monkeys are not a joke.

Keep killin em fellas.

Sounds of Chicago

Just got back to sweet home, Chicago, after a month hiatus in the most beautiful and isolated place on earth. It is good to be home. Back in the city where I belong. And just in time for some snow and a ton of new music from the homies…

Definitely was feeling Vince Nantes‘ new “Homesick” track in Hawaii.

Jesse and Lloyd AKA theWhoevers dropped their new video “Spectacular Venacular” bringing some summer sunshine to our dreary and surprisingly warm winter… (famous last words)

 

Our boy Trentino released his new EP, SQRM and if you’ve never heard him on the decks…then you must watch this…

SQRM by Trentino

Big Once brought Chicago to the 2011 Red Bull Thre3style U.S. Finals Championship in Las Vegas and after smashing the competition and claiming the title of U.S. Champion qualified to compete in the World Finals in Vancouver, CA. Hear the routine that made him champ and download his Thre3style REMIX Pack.

 

UPDATE: Had to update this cuz the homie Show You Suck posted up this sucky ass video from his show last week for “All Loc Everything.” Too dope. You suck. Download his latest album “Mo Slices, Mo Problems” here.

Local Nobodies

Bring back the summer…

Winter hasn’t even hit yet, but hearing about how awful this year is supposed to be…I figured I’d just skip to wishing it was summer already.

On that note…peep one of Chicago’s most adored young bands, The O’Mys.

Rise & Grind

“Don’t it make you proud? Look what we handed down…”

This is track always gets me movin in the mornin’…

 

Clam Chowder Soup

The homie ShowYouSuck just dropped off his newly minted video for “Clam Chowder Soup”.  The video pays homage to emcees that came before him, and is a strong directorial debut from Andrew Zeiter, with Ruby Hornet’s own Tony Shane on camera two.  “Clam Chowder Soup” is off Show’s OneManPizzaParty. Watch it below.
