Chicago Graffiti: Snacki

If you're on the streets of Chicago, keep an eye out for Snacki. There's a chance you'll see him on trains, billboards, and other random places.
 I got a speech on graffiti coming up pretty soon, so I've been more interested in it lately, although I've always appreciated it. I used to walk down the streets of my yuppie ass neighborhood as a kid and saw "Preston" and "Mental Cab 312"written all over the place, which made me ask myself, who are these mysterious people with these unique signatures? It made walking down the street more interesting. And these were just tags.
So I know this dude who knows (this dude who knows) this dude who has gotten a lot of attention for his work. Snacki's style is one of the coolest and most unique styles I've seen in a while. I wish I knew how to do this :( Check it out.

I love it when I go to a show and find new amazing artists I have never heard of.
There I was, on a warm June 26th night, walking into the Bottom Lounge, handing the nice security man my ticket to witness DZ, Le Castle Vania and D.I.M. bring the madness... I was reaching the top of the stairs when WHAM!, all of a sudden, I was overwhelmed by the bass-punch I received while rounding the corner to walk closer to whoever it was that was dropping this filth in its purest, most wretched form, EVER. After dubstepping with Conner for about a good amount of minutes and healing from my whiplash, I had to figure out who was throwing down these massively huge gigantically large tunes.
So I figured it out after a while. These unhygienic yet beautiful sounds were coming from none other than Nameloc, a Chicago native who knows his fucking dubstep and how to make the house bump like its 1983 (threw this down). Check out his stuph. More coming out soon!

Brotha Lynch Hung -Da East Bay Killa Shit

When I think of my favorite West Coast rappers, Brotha Lynch Hung is the first to pop up in my head.
What other rappers do you know of that hail Satan and promote chewing baby guts, frying baby nuts and eating dead pussy clits...Yeah, it's kind of like that, and being a former fan of Satan and everything else that was metal, I dig it. But regardless of all that, his nasty flow is on point and assisted nicely with them old-school West coast instrumental sounds. This is that real shit!

Liquid Stranger

I've been listening to Liquid Stranger for a little over a year now, and I am loving his transition of style between chill reggae influenced songs and heavy "stringy" bass songs. He reminds us that dubstep is not all about the filth and takes us back to its roots. Liquid Stranger is my favorite artist of the day.
The song "Deep Down Below" is incredibly chill; to enhance the experience, I highly recommend that you follow these simple steps:
1. Grab some stanky.
2. Light some stanky.
3. Make sure to listen to this with some headphones. You wouldn't want to exclude the bass now would you?
4. Enjoy...
5. Then listen to the rest of these monster tracks by LS down below...
