On The Set: Chris Shields' "Make A Movie"

The homie DudeGotBars was on hand to get some behind-the-scenes footage of Chris Shields' new visual. Looks like a it's gonna be a movie. No pun intended.

YP x Freddie Gibbs x Closed Session..

Closed Session: Freddie Gibbs Teaser from Ruby Hornet on Vimeo.

"In July of 2010, Freddie Gibbs hit the Windy City as a headliner of this year’s edition of the Pitchfork Music Festival. Closing down the Balance Stage, Gibbs performed in front of 30,000 people as he brought the gritty streets of Gary, Indiana to Chicago’s Union Park. Before his Pitchfork performance, Freddie Gibbs hosted RubyHornet’s monthly Digital Freshness party at Beauty and hit SoundScape Studio for the second edition of the LRG and Closed Sessions collaborative project. Freddie Gibbs decided to work with up and comer YP and after a few beats and blunts, “Something New” was born featuring the smooth production of Chicago's Million $ Mano.

Check out this trailer to get a taste of how things went down and look for the full documentary and new track next week via ClosedSessions.com/LRG."

The Answer..

The homie R.O.E. surfaces with a new joint for the masses & it's something serious. Rocking over a Foreign Exchange instrumental produced by Nicolay, R.O.E. declares himself the solution to the game. I couldn't agree more.

R.O.E. - "The Answer"

Soundcheck..

The Trilogy (Trinity, Sincerely Yours & Phantem) get a lil' help from DJ TopKey on their new joint "Soundcheck". I don't know about y'all, but this joint gives me the ugly face. Mic check 1, 2.

Hometown..

Seems like everyone loves that Adele sample that K.R.I.T. made famous. It was only right that somebody hit it with some Go, ILL though. TCU, Deeder Tha H.G. & MPulse take on the task over some C-Sick production. Word is that the track actually belongs Chicago artist Arrogant Fellow, but TCU felt the need to hijack it. I can dig it. I'm late, I know.

Guess who's bizzack? Yup, that's right.. Chuck L.I. (Who did you think I was talking about? Ha!) Chuck suits up on his new joint as gets ready to drop his new project, "Something Epic", for the masses this fall. I've had the privilege of hearing a hand few of joints from it and I must say it's some of the dopest shit I've heard all year. Time to wake up people!
