In case you didn't know, Tweedy is a family band of sorts. Dad Jeff Tweedy and son Spencer have been working on music together (which is pretty much the most adorable thing ever). The video for their debut single, "Low Key" was directed by Nick Offerman and features Michael Shannon, John Hodgman and a host of Chicago celebs. Dig it. 

I first heard Chance when his debut straight-to-the-internet-for-free album Acip Rap dropped a year ago. Since then I've watched the Chicago youngster gather awards and accolades including a spot on the cover of XXL for this year's Freshman class. Here's a lil freestyle he did for them. I just wanna keep watching this kid shine. Dig.

Awhile back I wrote about Chicago's own Chance the Rapper. Since then I've listened to several cuts as they leaked and even caught a live set at the Canopy Club. Yesterday, Chance dropped his Acid Rap Mixtape. It's every bit as good as we were hoping. Dig.

Chi-town might have a new hero when it comes to hip-hop. Chance the Rapper is not a new name to those in the know but for everyone else - let me introduce you to the next big thing to rise up out of the windy city. Dig this super relaxed, etheral flow.
