Ahhhhh home…there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss it/bring it up/think about it/compare it to my current place of residence. And although it could be argued that I might have had a similar opinion about another city had I grown up there, I really do think it’s the greatest city in the world - and that’s including all of the bullshit the city tends to throw at you.
One of the things I miss the most about it (outside of my friends and family…whatup $, Nez, Rio, Zo, Gumpy, Big Jay, Fatass, Nolis, Momma ‘n nem…and the food) is the music. Although the Chicago hasn’t seen the same amount of commercial success as other major cities, we still host a catalouge of very diverse and talented artists and acts. Soooo….What I have done for you wonderful people out there in Blind I-ville (since its a little early for me to post the October Smorgasbord) is compiled a 43 track compilation of tracks that I personally believe give a wonderful representation of the hip-hop scene from back home. You’ll notice some familiar names, some not so familiar names (hopefully more of the latter), but what I hope you notice throughout its entirety is good music.
Yitidee!
