REAL TALK :: Chicago’s BBU Merges Politics, Prose and Partying

Jams Dean sat down with Chicago’s BBU, giving the trio a blank slate to discuss their concept, their music and their agenda. We didn’t need a lot of questions. True to their activist backgrounds and charged lyrics, BBU had a lot to say. —Ed.
CT: What is BBU?
EPIC: Bin Laden Blowin’ Up. We are products of […]

Chatting CreamTeam

Last weekend I participated in my first ever recorded interview, discussing CreamTeam, blogging and Chicago music alongside Nick from Red Threat. We chatted with Jaime Black of Q101’s Local 101 for his personal podcast, ChicagoVerseUniteD, as part of a series on the people working in the shadows of the limelight in the city’s music scene. […]

Chester French: The Interview

A good interview is more than an entertaining read. A good interview holds the power to pique a reader’s interest to a subject they would normally write off. Pop-Rock meets Hip-Hop MTV darlings Chester French are not a group I would seek out on my own. Our very own newbornrodeo recently interviewed the duo for […]

In the past couple years a fresh, new generation has taken hold of Chicago’s rich hip-hop history and put their own spin on it, forging a scene that long ago bypassed the city’s limits and got a nation to take note.

If you follow music news at all you already know about Muscles’ dramatic December in which he declared a one-man war on his label, Modular Records and followed it up with rants on his blog and twitter […]

Phone call from Brooklyn: Matt of Matt & Kim

(photo via Sucka Pants)
After a few failed attempts, Matt of Matt & Kim finally found a time in his relentless schedule to talk on the phone with us about the insanity of the modern day indie rock tour, the future of Matt & Kim, and why he hates rock stars that love rock stardom.

CreamTeam: Matt, […]

MADE IN CHICAGO ed.01 :: WILLY JOY LOVES THIS CITY

Welcome to the first edition of our very first regular column here at CreamTeam! Chicago is a city that’s doing it up proper. From our history as pioneers of house music, to our notability in the hip-hop scene with big names Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco and up-and-comers Mic Terror and The Cool Kids, to […]
