Sunny Woodz’s No CellPhone Party

Leave a comment

After attending a number of parties where his cell phone could not attend, Sunny Woodz created a soundtrack for that very occasion. Today, Sunny Wood debuted his new mixtape No CellPhone Party.

In typical Sunny Woodz fashion No CellPhone Party is a vibe. The features resembles a list of who’s who in Chicago’s music scene and rightfully so. The name Sunny Woodz has grown synonymous with hard work and good music, so it’s only fair that he works with the best. Twista, Chimeka, Illi, and Supa Bwe are among the features, but that’s truly the tip of the iceberg.

The 13 track mixtape is a creative combination of turn up songs like “Ready” with Bandland Zz and smooth songs to ride to like “Time” with Chloé. No CellPhone Party is versatile and undoubtedly has something for rappers, trappers and the pretty girls they attract.

For anyone who attended the No CellPhone Party party, there are still many surprises to be heard as Sunny Woodz refuses to be finished with a project until it is released.

Leave a comment

Last night, Sunny Woodz made history when he shut down Cairo Ale House headlining his very first showcase.

It is an undisputed fact that no one can bring artists together like Sunny Woodz. Last night, he reminded Chicago of that connecting artists and fans alike at his well-planned and flawlessly executed showcase.

“Twista Presents Black Friday with Sunny Woodz and Friends” was a movie. Divided into three sets, complete with different vibes, the show case had something for everyone. ShaneikaSpeaks hosted the first segment, which was hosted by DJ MightDoSumn. Messiah, FlossMobChase and Murph Watkins were among the performers creating the energy that got things in motion. The second set was a trip around the city piloted by Yo Carlie, with DJ TRell providing the sounds. Jae Haze, Weasel Sims, and Clark Airlines were just of the few of the artists along for the ride. The final set of the show was both hosted and dj’d but Sunny Woodz himself. The anti-socialite saved the best for last, as his line up included Illi, Stunt Taylor, and Lucci Vee.

Sunny Woodz literally shut down Cairo Ale House, with performances up until the very moment they closed. He closed the show performing alongside one of his favorites, Chimeka.

Chicago couldn’t have asked for a better show. Sunny Woodz blurred the lines between artists and fans, allowing those who are all too often on stage a chance to be a part of the audience and cheer on a few of their favorite hometown acts.

BoDi Deeder Has Trap Money Crack Money

Leave a comment

Money is a necessity in this day and age and BoDi Deeder knows that well. His latest single “Trap Money Crack Money” is evidence and the visual is in line with that.

Simple in concept but heavy on effects, the “Trap Money Crack Money” video is a Clark FX original. Expensive cars, pretty women and close friends is “Trap Money Crack Money” in a nutshell. But it’s a BoDi Deeder visual so it’s certainly not that simple.

Hemi engines and strippers and a few of Chicago’s most notable artists is more like it. BoDi Deeder delivers lyrics about getting money in whatever your preferred method is, because quite frankly either you have it or you don’t. His entourage includes living legend Twista and Chicago Clout God Sunny Woodz, as well as a few of BoDi Deeder’s day ones Chase Chill and Stax Dollars.

Produced by Fatality of 80 Apes, “Trap Money Crack Money is the first single from BoDi Deeder’s upcoming EP Trap Fever.

Vo Shows the World His Crown

Leave a comment

It’s safe to say if you’re a hip-hop fan and a social media user you know Vo, the lyricist in his car. Last night the rapper stepped out of his car and into Chicago’s Society 2201 night club to celebrate the release of his album Crown.

The celebration brought out a list of who’s who in the city and rightfully so. Crown is 12 tracks of what the music industry has been missing. A far cry from what’s mainstream Vo’s sound is not only specifically hip-hop, it’s specific to Vo. The lyricist covers a range of topics over beats that all sound different. And it’s probably not so unfortunate that there won’t be any dances spawning from any of the songs on Crown, but it’s almost a guarantee that there will be plenty of lyric quoting.

No gimmicks necessary Crown is proof that Vo’s lyricism stands on its own. Vo already had the respect of the city and the feature list on Crown is evidence of that. Twista, John Blu and Nia Kay are just a few of the well known artists lending their talents to Crown.

Nearly 45 minutes of positivity and real hip hop, Crown is undoubtedly a must listen and Vo is a name music lovers wont soon forget.

Vo – Crown

Sunny Woodz has an affinity to perfect timing. As college students near and far flock to sand and sunshine, the Chicagoland native presents his latest release “Paradise.”

Though Chicago is having a hard time escaping the winter, Sunny Woodz and a few of his friends are taking fans on a mental vacation. Production was a tandem effort from Zen Zan Beats and YF Beatz. Chimera, Twista and Kembe X contributed lyrics to “Paradise.”

A three minute reminder that with good music, the right attitude, and a little weed smoke you can go anywhere in your mind.

Finally, it’s autumn and that means pool parties have been traded for bond fires and kickbacks. Though summertime soirées have given way to more indoor shindigs one thing remains necessary and that’s a soundtrack. Leave it to Sunny Woodz to be the mastermind behind the new kickback anthem.

Sunny Woodz recruited Clark Airlines, Ohana Bam and Twista, for a laidback sound sure to fill the negative space of any get together. The track has a kind of slow burn befitting of Hennessy and Backwoods. Zen Zan holds the production credit for this song.

Twista Gets Disrespectful

Leave a comment

Last month Twista made history when he dropped his 10th studio album Crook County. Yesterday, the Chicagoan reminded the world why he’s still pertinent after 20 plus years in the industry with his new single “Disrespectful.”

The stuff nightmares are made of, “Disrespectful,” is Twista’s very own three minute horror movie. The lyrical legend wields a machete and impersonates Jason Voorhees and that’s only the first verse. Twista puts a dead up and coming Chicago rapper, Kevin Kelly, in a grocery cart and tortures model Abigail Solis.

Dead and bloodied rappers and models seems like an awful image for a video, but the always a rhyme and reason when it comes to rappers. The dark images are befitting of the gory lyrics and horror movie references in the song.

Watch Disrespectful.

Hip Hop Celebrates Cinco de Money 3

Leave a comment

Hip hip fans in Chicago celebrated Cinco de Mayo in a rather unique way. Rapper Ty Money debuted the third installment of his Cinco de Money series. 

The 12 track effort is homegrown, but establishes Ty Money as a global artist. Not only is Cinco de Money 3 lyrically impressive, the 29 year old suburbanite recruited a team of some of Chicago’s most noteable producers to create a sound that undeniably defines the Harvey native. Hearon Trackz, NovaCane and Chase Davis all lent production to one track each on Cinco de Money 3. Ty Money teamed up with RioMac to get under the Future/Metro Boomin’ act, the producer has four credits on the mixtape.

The lyricism on Cinco de Mayo 3 was certainly a Chicago affair, as well. “Yes or No” features Chicago legend Bump J who is newly released from prison. Another feature comes from Chimeka also known as ChinChillaMeek. Though not exactly a feature Twista appears on the mixtape as well. An interlude in which the hip hop legend compares Ty Money to Slick Rick is used as an interlude.
