Busy day today with a lot of releases coming out. Almost forgot about my man Chris from Tensei, but I got you. Plug Research released their “One” EP today and we’re feeling this “For The Love” bonus track featuring Adad and Yaw. Thought we’d post about these gentlemen, who you’ll probably be hearing a lot more from this year. Shout out to Chi-Town for keeping it windy and check out their EP on 
. Make sure you snatch that free download of “For The Love” while you’re at it!

We’ll provide you with some extraodinary jazz fusion today. First one is from jazz pianist Greg Spero from Chicago. Greg is preparing to release his debut trio album entitled “Acoustic“, featuring all original compositions in an acoustic piano trio setting. Just can’t wait to put this album next to my Stefon Harris, Robert Glasper and Christian Scott albums. For more info visit Gregspero.com.

So apparently Peven Everett released a new 11 track album last month. I guess it’s a typical Peven Everett album, meaning “Medicine Man” contains a few dope joints but could’ve been so much more. Really too bad that Peven has never really created that one masterpiece of an album which he is surely capable of! Had to look for this one, but finally found out it’s available via Bandcamp and Indiekazoo in case you want to purchase it.

In response to the recent announcement from Exile regarding the upcoming album between himself and ADaD, they decided to let loose a few new tracks from the this Chi-Town MC. Check out this bass heavy chorus-less beast (produced by ADaD)… 4 minutes of a grimy, head knockin beat alongside ADaD’s precise lyrical delivery. Here he tackles the missteps and realizations of taking a realistic approach to accomplishing his objectives. Big shout outs to all the Chicago artists working hard trying to “Get it”…
