Made In Chicago Rockumentary
In February 2009, M.I.C. released their hit LP The Beginning, where Rob Smooth and JD take you on a guided tour of their turbulent lives. The two exhibit passionate flows with intelligent lyrics, while still keeping it real. The collaboration of Rob Smooth and JD lyrical voices backed by beats from I. Queue, Mr P, Rabiez, and Chicago favorites Abstract Giants, reveal a new side of hip-hop – a side more compelling and relatable to listeners. Their fan base has steadily widened due to M.I.C’s ability to tell honest stories, accompanied by knowledgeable music. The Beginning track title exemplifies how well these artists take the hand that was dealt to them, defeat the odds and spin negative into positive.Rob Smooth & JD spent their earlier years growing up in the notorious Englewood district of Chicago. The two use street life experiences as a backdrop for their albums and pull from tragedy and pain to paint an amazing depiction of what Chicago street-life is really like and how hard it is to raise from the ashes. No smoke and mirrors here, Rob Smooth and JD really are Made In Chicago.
89 music is a inde based in Chicago founded in 2004 by A. Watson & C. Hunter. Eight Nine is a second generation of the hip hop click Verbally Diseased that held a major Hip Hop influence on the southside and Chicago as a whole. In 1996 V.D. took intiative to rise above crew level and became a independant record label, Verbally Diseased Records. By 2000 without the aide of a major Verbally had released four records that selling elapsed the estimated totals by an 87 percintile, during that time thier artists clogged the show market for other underground artist by opening for nearly every major act in their region during thier span. In 2001 V.D. records took major turn right before the drop of thier final release (Operation Contamination ft. Da Block Burnaz) and the company began to split in the mist of business disputes, leadership issues, artist, management and other outside dilemmas. Soon they divivded which in turn haulted its growth and ultimately vanished except in hearts of few. Ironically the few left(Da Block Ni....as from 89th) were those with who would have been expected to have no hearts at all for the decisions made & would leave out in thier own directions. But confronted with options like drugs, jail, gangwars and more funerals they decided to keep the torch burning rather than living with false hope of the streets. Now 89 has took the term "Rep da Block" to a whole new level, lacing the streetz with hottest tracks and banging Street anthems. Eight Nine Music is on its way to controling the Midwest market and ultimately "the market" itself (high hopes huh!), but for now if you're from the CHI throw your C's up! and if your from anywhere else Phoenix, Jersey, Cali, ATL, wherever scream out EIGHT NINE!!! till somebody screams it back!
THIS IS A WOMEN THAT IS IN TUNE WITH THE MOST HIGH AND HAS MOVED ME IN SUCH A WAY ......
