Plaga hit me up tonight with a brand new track he produced, and it’s definitely some heat for a freezing winter day.

This is definitely an all-star roster doing
Read moreMilwaukee emcee BKnitts isn’t wasting any time starting off 2015 properly. On New Year’s Day, he released his latest tape “Waves” as a free download.

Read moreMore footage from this past weekend at Cactus Club, this time in the form of emcee J. Todd.
