SEARCH FOR: FEMDOT

Just a few weeks ago femdot released his first single of the year with a feature from Saba, and this week he returned yet again with a brand new record called “Los Tacos No. 1” featuring Chris Patrick! When you think about the space in music that both femdot + Chris operate in, they are looked at as two of the most promising rising artists in their respective lanes, so to see them come together on a record just made sense. These two really complimented each other well, hopefully, this is the first of many collabs between the two skilled emcees. My only question is – what the hell is los tacos no. 1? Fem decided to package both of his recent singles together and call them “The Tour Pack”, likely because they were both created + worked on while he was on tour with Saba earlier this year, anyways, stream both of these songs below + see which one you like more.

It’s always a treat whenever Chicago native femdot puts out new music, and today he is back on our site with his first release of 2022 called “Mount Olympus” featuring Saba! Anyone who has been following fem or Saba’s career to this point knows that they have a good friendship, fem was featured on the Pivot Gang album a couple of years back, and just a few short months ago, Saba brought femdot on a country-wide tour. Clearly, these two have chemistry and it’s on full display here on this track, they meshed well over this beautifully crafted production, as they floated with ease while dropping ear-pleasing rhymes. This is one of the best releases to come out this week, but don’t take my word for it though, check it out for yourself below!

Preface Yes, this article is super long and tedious, my bad…. Forewarning, if you’ve already read my other recaps for each individual day, skip to the end for a few words of admiration to the LL family, from me! Every year, the Summer Smash seems to get bigger, better, and more insane than ever before, and 2022 is definitely no exception. Unfortunately, I missed the first year or two because of one reason or another, so 2021 was actually my first time experiencing this event live and in person. At the same time, though, I had been to various other concerts hosted by LL dating all the way back to Lil Uzi Vert’s first-ever Chicago performance way back in April of 2016, so I know how we throw down at live events, and I also know just how loyal, supportive, and turnt up our fans get every chance they get. 2022 had some curveballs thrown at the team including a detrimental storm that almost paused the entire festival, but thanks to the consistently hard-working and ride-or-die group of individuals who put this fest together, the show went on without a hitch! I just want to clarify that this article is …

femdot is just days removed from his two-month journey on tour with fellow Chicago emcee Saba, a pivotal (no pun intended) experience that was extremely valuable for him. While he was in New York during the tour, fem was able to squeeze in a little time to stop by On The Radar Radio for a new interview + freestyle with the host Gabe! You will find fem speaking on many things including the Chicago music scene, attending DePaul University, his project “Not For Sale”, the impact Rockie Fresh had on him, Delacreme Scholars and more. This was a solid interview, much love to Gabe + the good people at On The Radar, take some time to check out this conversation below!

femdot has been on the ‘Back Home’ tour with Saba for the past month, he’s a busy man but he made some time to stop to see the gold folks at AMPD and give us a new freestyle over Jay-Z’s “Dear Summer” instrumental. Anyone who even slightly knows fem knows that freestyling and pure rapping is his bread and butter, so you don’t even need to press play before you know he killed this one! Rumor has it that this is the first of a few new freestyles that are going to be coming from the Chicago leader, so if you aren’t already, give him a follow on Twitter to keep up with him!

It’s 9:40 PM in Chicago Illinois – May 6th, 2022   I am in the living room of the Lyrical Lemonade office with Ausar, OG Stevo, Chris Patrick, and Justin Alvarez. I just got back from two weeks of touring with femdot on the ‘Back Home’ tour, and one question that arose in the green room multiple times was: What’s the best cookie of all time? We had plenty of passionate and spirited debates about this on the road: Frsh Waters loves butter cookies, femdot is a fan of snickerdoodle, and Amindi is a fan of the frosted animal crackers. After many days of thinking about this in my head, I bought this question up to Ausar, OG Stevo, and Chris Patrick. So here we are – now 9:50 on a Friday night at the Lyrical Lemonade office, ranking our top 5 cookies. _____   First things first – Chris Patrick is the WILDCARD of this debate. For starters, he started his list from 5 to 1, which I think we can all agree is weird. He was extremely passionate about these things called Vienna cookies, must be a New Jersey thing because none of us from the midwest has …

The Aether is a producer from Seattle who I have been a massive fan of for some years now, I first found him on Soundcloud about 5 years ago, and I have been obsessed with his production ever since. Just recently The Aether released a new self-titled project, and we have had it in rotation all day here at the Lyrical Lemonade office. The Aether is one of those rare producers who you listen to and can’t help but wonder “how do more people not know about him yet”, but I assure you, he is well on his way. The Aether has been getting placement on albums and even had one of his beats used on femdot’s COLORS performance. This beat tape is the perfect thing to play in your headphones, or in the background as you settle in tonight. Stream it below and if you enjoy the music, be sure to share it with a friend!

If you’re not already familiar with COLORSxSTUDIOS’ series of live performances, you seriously have some catching up to do. For the past few years, they have brought in so many different artists, ranging from superstars like Gunna, Freddie Gibbs, and JID to more local emcees with immense talent such as Dreamer Isioma and Femdot. What I love about this series is that it showcases the artists in such a barebone yet equally vibrant, captivating manner, and these spitters are able to showcase their music in a way unlike ever before. Most recently, they invited Guapdad 4000 onto the series, and although his performance of his new single “Black Iverson” was immaculate, I also found out that this was part of the media company’s collaboration with the NBA 2K franchise, making this release even more incredible. Produced by Kyle S. Fischer, the instrumental is lighthearted and easygoing with hints of mischief and innocent trouble, setting the perfect base for Guapdad’s typically calm, cool, and collected flows. His delivery is very reminiscent of the sound we have all come to know and love as he just lets the tempo carry his words without trying to speed up his lines too quickly or …
