“I wasn’t necessarily looking for happiness, just less pain” – Trippie Redd on “Leray” Having been an avid fan of Trippie Redd’s music since his debut project, A Love Letter To You, released back in 2017, his musical journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. Not only speaking on behalf of the emotions that he puts into the craft, but for the fans, as well. While the first project in this series is what many fans will call a classic, the second project, A Love Letter To You 2 was a big disappointment for many fans including myself due to the fact that it seemed rushed, coming just five short months after his first project. Taking almost a year off, Trippie took time to perfect his craft for his debut album Life’s A Trip in 2018 which ushered him back in the great graces of fans and really showed his growth as an artist. On top of that, we also received the third installment in the Love Letter series which fans grew to love. 2019 was a year where it seems like everyone was releasing so much music, and in the midst of it all, Trippie came with his second album titled ! (exclamation mark) and the fans …

Over the past five years of covering the Chicago music scene, interviewing artists, and making relationships with these creatives, I have noticed something that I believe is super intriguing: there have been so many talented individuals who went to Homewood Flossmoor High School at (or around) the same time. It’s not too often that you see this many extraordinary creatives come out of the same place at once — at least I have never heard of something like this before — but even more so, I think it’s a rarity for to have this type of talent come out of the same school especially in the same field. I believe that a big part of this should be credited to the opportunities that Homewood Flossmoor provides to their students, in all avenues, but especially in the music field. The school has engaged students in music industry classes, Jazz orchestra courses, holding rap contests (and giving out prizes to the winners), shooting music videos for their senior students at times, giving them their own radio show to practice freestyling + DJ’ing, and they even take their bands on extraordinary trips to places like Japan. It’s crazy to think about what can …

Ski Mask The Slump God has quickly become not only one of the hottest new artists in the game, but a leader in the next generation of artists and the exact same can be said about Juice Wrld, so when you see them connect for a brand new music video you already know it’s going to be special. Things do get elevated to another level though when you see that the GOAT of video directors, Cole Bennett, was brought on to bring this song to life, and together they formed something like a Big 3. The setting that they shot this music video at looks something like a Call Of Duty map from back in the day, and trust me when I say that this one is action-packed to the extreme, it’s filled with twists & turns that will have you on the edge of your seat. Watch this brand new visual on YouTube below and if you like it, then don’t forget to smash that thumbs up button!

Polo G has arguably had a better year than most Chicago artists in 2019 & he is one of the best new emcees in the game, so when I saw that he linked with the homie Bootleg Kev + DJ Hed for a brand new interview I couldn’t wait to watch! They spoke about plenty of topics including growing up on the northside of Chicago, who inspired him musically, wanting to do a collab with Juice WRLD, his tattoos, his well-received project, the meaning behind the title of his album, how he connected with Lil Tjay, his recording process, evolving as an artist, his spending habits, his relationship with his father, being multi-dimensional and much more. This was a solid interview so shout out to the great hosts, they brought out the best in Polo G & I suggest you check out this interview below!

When you see a combo with the magnitude such as Juice Wrld and NBA Youngboy connect for a record you already know a couple of things; it’s going to be a hit and it’s going to do some SERIOUS numbers, but those two facts become even more true when Lyrical Lemonade’s own Cole Bennett is the man behind the camera. Late last night this super trio released the brand new music video for “Bandit” and it has already put up a whopping 2.4 million views in just over twelve hours & not to mention that it’s currently #2 on YouTube’s trending! The way that these two creatives attacked this immaculate production that was provided by the great Nick Mira was impressive to say the minimum, they bounced off of each other with perfect chemistry, leaving tons of fans around the world already craving their next collab! Watch this brand new music video below and if you haven’t already, don’t forget to subscribe to Lyrical Lemonade’s YouTube channel!    

By Lee Mcintosh It has been nearly six years since Young Thug emerged into the spectrum of the masses, and not too many artists can say that they have had a career quite like his. Coming onto the scene sounding much different than everyone else, Thug received a lot of criticism for his style of rap, his actions, and his overall persona. As the years passed, his notoriety in the rap game is like no other–proving he was way ahead of his time. After teasing fans with his official debut album Hy!£UN35 (Hi Tunes), it eventually became nothing but a myth. Will we still get it?–the world may never know. However, here we are in the year 2019 and Thugger has finally blessed his fans with the release of his debut album So Much Fun. This project could not have come at a better time in his career. He has achieved a new level or stardom–much bigger than he would have had if he originally released a debut album in 2016. The success of his YSL compilation album Slime Language and birthing the talents of Gunna, Lil Keed and Lil Duke, proves his talents as not only an executive, but a tastemaker. Nonetheless, the fans …

Young Thug is one of the most creative & influential artist in the world and he is fresh off of the release of his brand new project, so it’s only right that he sat down with the GOAT of interviewers, Big Boy! Big Boy + his team asked Thug about plenty of interesting subjects including his brand new album So Much Fun, his relationship with Nipsey Hussle, working with Machine Gun Kelly, the idea of album vs mixtape, Lil Wayne, his interview with No Jumper, having a mind that’s always running, tweeting about running for president in 2024, what type of father he is, his relationship with Gunna, J. Cole executive producing his album, a joint project with Juice WRLD, his clothing brand, receiving praise from Elton John, advice he would give his younger self, Jay-Z’s NFL situation and so much more. Watch this awesome new interview below!

One of my favorite things things in 2019 has been to watch the rise of Lyrical Lemonade favorite Lil Tecca who has blown up ever since dropping “Ransom”, and today he just blessed his fan base with a brand new remix of the track featuring Juice Wrld! I was on the edge of my seat before I even got to clicking play I was so eager to hear what this sounded like, this original version song was already a 10/10 in my opinion, but somehow Juice Wrld managed to make this already great song even better with his contribution! Stream this amazing new record via Soundcloud below and decide for yourself which version is your favorite!

By: Lee Mcintosh When it comes to creating great music, the artists are the ones who receive most of the recognition for the creation of the song. Their name is what’s attached to the song, their flows, their likeness, and even the features that the artist may have. However, the song making process all begins with one entity… the producer/s. No matter how creative the lyrics may be, how great the artist’s cadence sounds, the beat behind it all is a huge factor behind the overall appeal of the song, and that is what moves people and captures their attention as soon as they hit play. We are in a different era of music now. Technology has advanced to a point where producers and artists don’t have to be in the studio together anymore. This can be a gift and a curse at the same time. Often so, producers may send over a beat pack to an artist and then they select the songs they want and don’t want. From there, the studio session may be recorded or put on Instagram live, and the producer may be nowhere in sight. This may create confusion as to who actually made the …

I have attended Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee three times now in the past five years and it has quickly grown into one of my favorite festival experiences! The first time that I attended Bonnaroo (2014) I had just turned eighteen years old and took the trip down with my brother to see Chance The Rapper the first time he graced the stage there (at 3am if I’m not mistaken) and we also got to see Kanye West perform in front of nearly 90,000 attendees. The second time I got the opportunity to go to Bonnaroo was in 2017 when Chance performed in front of 80,000 people, I took the trip last minute and took a car full of his merchandise down there with my roommate & co-worker at the time (we worked in his merch department at the time for more context). The experience I had that year was just as wonderful as my first time, I was a little bit more experienced with my surroundings and was able to soak in the environment a little bit more. As the event went on I got to see first hand how diverse the festival was with their crowd, …
