Chicago’s winter was especially brutal in 2014, yet in stark contrast, our Hip Hop scene has been on fire.  On the coldest day of the year we assembled an all-star cast of Mick Jenkins, Dally Auston, NoName Gypsy, Saba and producers OnGaud at SoundScape Studio for a special Closed Session.  

While this group of emcees and producers have been friends for a long time, and worked together in the past, this session was their first time all working together simultaneously on one song.  The result is “Realer Than Most” a dope new cut from our newest compilation, Closed Sessions Vol. 3 releasing soon.

PATIENCE PART TOO

Alex Wiley shares a new track, recorded in a hotel room and inspired by a bodyguard he traveled with on tour: "one random night he comes in at like 5 AM, waking everybody up, and we’re like ‘where were you?’ and he’s like ‘the booty club, going dumb again’ and it was like the funniest shit I had heard in that moment, the booty club going dumb." Read more about the song and his upcoming project 'Silent Party' exclusively at http://noisey.vice.com/blog/alex-wiley-booty-club-goin-dumb-again-premiere-interview.

" Its a proclamation. "Bleeding Tree" the song is how we are all trees and me wanting to see more of us living in more fertile soils. Im tired of seeing people get chopped down. Tired of seeing that, lets put more trees in the breeze instead, I mean that figuratively and literally. But yea, Its a song out of frustration with the system and how its been strategically crafted to make it easier for certain groups of people to fail. Just hella corruption around us. Plant the seeds and foster growth. Bleeding Tree is a concept that can mean either life or death depending how you learn about it. There's a story by James Hurst called "The Scarlet Ibis" where it represents both. Theres an actual tree in Africa called the Kiaat or Bloodwood Tree that leaks red sap when its cut or the bark is bruised. This sap leaks, hardens on itself and "heals" the incision the same way our body does with scabs. There are spiritual meanings people attribute to this tree as well but thats for another time.
