Northern Culture, Art, Hip Hop & Working Class
Aced Spade contributes to the waterfall of recent Northern art with the PVO (Positive Vibes Only) mostly-instrumental project. Along with plenty of originals, the superproducer chops up some of Drake’s (and Justin Timberlake’s) lyrics to some of the Earth’s best, and Northside Chicago, Illinois made, production. Drake is not known for coming around the Midwest...
UPDATE (July 11): Amerikas Addiction dropped the Four EP and While You Were Sleeping album, Helios H. the Admiration is Temporary EP, and Bobby Raps – Mark. We are in full motion, of what is the “Midwest Renaissance”. We are speaking out against the Coasties in Government and Media. The artists are taking off, or...
Oshkosh, Wisconsin’s CDS took the weekend to record this “Hotline Bling” electro cover (October 21, 2015). The rapper-singer shows his chops on the alternative remix, adding extra melody and depth to the already popular Drake song. Drake dropped the video for “Hotline Bling” yesterday. Many love it, some don’t like the dancing, some don’t like...
UPDATE (July 31) Meek Mill dropped his response to Drake today. Many were hoping for the Dreamchaser to come with an ultra-violent slasher joint. What they got was “WANNA KNOW,” sections of very calculated bars, broken up by beat changes and select audio samples. As anyone can tell from all the anti-Meek comments and memes,...

There’s a term for this sort of behavior, “repeat offender”. What it means in the court system sense is, if a person has done something more than once, they’re likely gonna do it again....
Play this shit when you’re high. Fuck to it. Cry to it. Let it take you somewhere else. This kind of music can be a compliment to your situation. Personally, I don’t compose my time with this brand. In true OVO Sound fashion, PND and Travis Scott don’t say much of anything. I need something...
This past weekend was too real woo. I’ve been having some serious medical issues lately so I haven’t done much except rest, but, if it’s homecoming in Madison, you find yourself bruh (October 29, 2014). I took to the meds and made it happen. I ran into folks on the way down the scrip (Langdon)...
tumblr_mylon0YMMV1rxq2t5 For me, this record reminds me of a grittier “Comeback Season” Drake. He puts a lot of raw energy into this recording, which I think he’s been trying to do lately to combat all of the #drakethetypeof jabs. Not just for the IT’s though, I mean in general he’s trying to readjust how people...
