Chicago Westside native Kid Breeze is an artist/producer that not only has quality lyrics, but he also provides indigenous production that has been sprouting within the Chicago music scene. (You can also hear Breeze’s production within my show intro which plays Monday – Friday at the 10 O’Clock hour as well as 12 noon)

His latest single “Hotel” was recently added to Vocalo’s music library and it features Jae Haze. As you listen you’ll hear a Chicago vibe, fulfilled with playalistic wordplay that’ll have your head nodding and feet tapping.

This single also comes off the album titled “Sunny and Partly Cloudy,” which was also featured within my article “5 independent Chicago Hip Hop Projects Of 2019.”

G Herbo - PTSD on vocalo radio

Chicago frontrunner G Herbo recently released his fourth studio album titled “PTSD” in which he was diagnosed with. Herbo’s reasoning behind the album’s title is to spread raise awareness to kids who grew up like he did. His latest album features 14 tracks, and even tho there are several tracks I enjoy listening to such as Glass In The Face, Gangsta’s Cry, Intuition and more I can only choose one. Herbo’s record PTSD featuring the late Juice WRLD, Chance The Rapper and Lil Uzi Vert stood out to me the most, because it’s diverse and shows different obstacles each artist went through.
