Make-A-Wish child becomes Rhymefest's DJ
2010-03-25 07:21:00 This was a nice, heart-warming video. The backstory: the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted would-be cancer survivor Rob Bates his one wish of throwing a concert for his family and friends with celebrity guest performer Rhymefest. The short film depicts Rhymefest's journey throughout the day, primarily the hectic realization that no one booked a DJ. 'Fest helps Rob Bates' wish come true on another level as he tabs Bates to become his DJ during the set. As you can see, the show turned out to be a success and everyone went home a winner. Great stuff. My one critique about the film - there was too much speaking by the anonymous speaker, not so much what he said but the distorted...
Download Rhymefest 'Letter'
2010-03-23 22:24:00 Rhymefest "Letter" Producer: Animal House - FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming mixtape, Dangerous 5-18 *TIBS FAV.™ In comes the first leak off the upcoming mixtape from Rhymefest, Dangerous 5-18, a track that stirred up some release controversy in 2009: "Letter" featuring live vocals from John Mayer. The reason for the controversy was because Wale originally released his version of "Letter" (also dope). Rhymefest actually addresses that situation saying, "This song ("Letter") was recorded for the El Che album while I was still on Allido Records with live vocals from John Mayer. If the fans really dig the record, I will release a follow-up statement addressing the Wale situation (how he came about recording his version of "Letter") in the immediate future."Well, I have a feeling we will...
Believe it: The new Rhymefest album is finally being released
2010-03-09 20:31:00 Nearly four years ago, in advance of releasing his debut full-length "Blue Collar," Chicago rapper Rhymefest was hot. Then the album failed to generate much buzz nationwide, and rumors went on for years about the arrival of Rhymefest's follow-up, "El Che."Well, a press release today confirms the record is finally here. "El Che" will arrive in stores May 18 and feature guest appearances by Saigon, Little Brother and more. In case you forgot: Rhymefest won a Best Rap Song Grammy for co-writing "Jesus Walks" with fellow Chicagoan Kanye West.Are you excited for "El Che"?...
Common and Rhymefest earn spotlights for this week's installment of Ol
2009-12-27 20:00:00 I just had to spotlight a couple quick videos I stumbled upon on YouTube today - a double dose if you will for Old School Sundays. The first pays homage to not only the Common classic "I Used To Love H.E.R." but also 2Pac's "Old School" as the mash-up (an early decade staple might I add) is well mixed by DJ Fatal. Great to hear 2Pac's bars from that particular song over the Common hook and production. From there, a related video caught my eye - an interesting promo video for Rhymefest that is awesome to look at it again today. The video contains rare footage of 3 of rap's biggest stars then (and still today) giving their praises on...
ADaD Wins Rhymefest's "Give It To Me" Cameo Contest
2009-12-07 20:30:00 Give it to ADaD! Credit: Andreas Carlos Serna The local MC is the winner of Rhymefest's "Give it to Me" contest, beating out some formidable competition for the win. (Not to mention the occasionally withering cameo criticism by the 'Fest himself.) The contest started back in October, and I talked about it here. ADaD will join 'Fest and Saigon on the track, which is part of 'Fest's upcoming album. Read more about this and see vid of 'Fest talking about the contest on Ruby Hornet's blog, which supports local&-nbsp;hip-hop to the fullest. Let's celebrate this moment in good hip-hop history. Take that, you (c)rappers! BTW: If you were looking to vote in today's track-off, we were experiencing some...
Rhymefest evaluates "Give It To Me" entries including LA's
2009-10-27 05:59:00 DOWNLOAD THE FULL VERSE:LA "Give It To Me Entry" Producer: Scram Jones - 1:25 FULL Entry *Tibs Fav.™For those unaware, Rhymefest is currently conducting a contest for a guest spot on his upcoming collaboration with Saigon and producer Scram Jones "Give It To Me". The instrumental is available for download and further details can be read at contest host Ruby Hornet's page. In the video above, Rhymefest constructively critiques a series of submissions for the second time in the contest and leads off with none other than LA's! As our longtime GWHH readers know, LA (not 'La' as Rhymefest comically mispronounces, haha) is one half of LA & Mr. Music and he cranked out a verse for the contest last...
Rappers Team Up to Curb Community Violence: David Banner, Rhymefest, Naledg
2009-10-20 13:00:00 For weeks, we've been mulling ways to curb the community violence that has taken the lives of so many Chicago children, including the very recent and high-profile beating death of Fenger High school student Derrion Albert. Here at the Kyles Files, caring locals and even community activists have written in with practical ideas about how we Average Joes and Janes can help. I've signed up for several initiatives, and hope others follow through as well. I'll keep adding suggestions as I get more, so keep sending them. Now it's time for some star power. Missippi rapper David Banner teamed up with Rhymefest, Naledge, Twista and Skooda Chose to release a song and video, "Something's Wrong." David Banner The powerful...
Chicago MCs Rhymefest, Naledge, and Twista link up with David Banner to rai
2009-10-19 09:53:00 David Banner "Something Is Wrong RMX" f/ Lisa Ivey, Rhymefest, Naledge, & Twista Producer: 9th Wonder - FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, Death Of A Popstar *TIBS FAV.™The backstory: David Banner and producer 9th Wonder released an original track named "Something is Wrong" earlier this month and in light of the Derrion Albert incident, Rhymefest, Naledge, and Twista all hopped on the remix for what has now become an even more powerful statement to stop the violence in urban youth not only in Chicago, but worldwide. On top of that, all the artists involved are meeting up this Tuesday in Chicago for a video shoot / anti-violence rally featuring relatives of victims of senseless Chicago violence and other local...
Want to Rap with Rhymefest? Enter This Contest
2009-10-16 20:30:00 Lil' Wayne and Drake are the current cameo kings, but who's to say local MCs with skills can't join the fun? If you have lyrics to go, enter a competition that could give you an opportunity to rhyme alongside Rhymefest, one of my personal faves and former RedEye cover king. All you have to do is download the instrumental for "Give It To Me," from the Ruby Hornet blog, record a verse and submit it. This isn't some track that will be buried in the back of the album either, according to my Ruby buddy, apparently it's really good, produced by a platinum producer, Scram Jones, and also will feature Saigon. Details and a rather amusing video address from Rhymefest are all right...
Download 2 leftover tracks from Rhymefest's upcoming album 'El Ch
2009-08-25 08:13:00 Rhymefest "Binary Code" f/ Ladybug Mecca Producer: BKS - FULL, CDQ, Leftover track from the upcoming album, El Che *Tibs Fav.™Rhymefest "Angry Black Man On An Elevator" Producer: Lil' Jon - FULL, CDQ, Leftover track from the upcoming album, El Che *Tibs Fav.™Rhymefest decided to drop a couple tracks that will NOT make the final cut for El Che over @ his poppin' website elchethemovement.com. Kickin' it off w/ "Binary Code", this record is about the ladies and features a strange hook.. yet I dig it. The verses come correct as 'Fest uses online talk like "ttyl", "omg", etc. very cleverly. "Angry Black Man On An Elevator" was actually previously released but it was the 2nd track that 'Fest dropped...
Old School Sundays: Eminem vs. Rhymefest
2009-08-16 16:42:00 Eminem vs. RhymefestWas in a freestyling mood this morning so I dug up the classic Eminem vs. Rhymefest battle for another installment of Old School Sundays. It may be common knowledge to even the casual hip hop fan, but before both were famous, Rhymefest defeated Eminem in the Scribble Jam 97 competition. And in the footage captured above, I wholeheartedly agree. Rhymefest's Suge Knight line was the instigator to the roof bein' torn off and it only gets betteer from there as he powerfully spit only a few more bars. Anyway, I know this is news to some of our readers out there so I hope this news (or reminder) helps you take Rhymefest even more seriously. Enjoy! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What do...
Rhymefest, Mikkey Halsted, Kamilah Sumner, & Slique live at the Wild Ha
2009-07-26 21:46:00 This past Tuesday night was the place to be if you are a Chicago hip hop enthusiast as Rhymefest and Mikkey Halsted headlined a show that also featured approximately 975 15? opening acts. Some true fans were able to stay through 2 o'clock in the morning to see a couple high-energy performances from the two MCs. Mikkey Halsted had the crowd going while also giving the talented up and coming R&B singer, Kamilah Sumner some shine as well. Sumner performed her version of Kanye West's "Say U Will" called "Heart Of A Lion", which visibly impressed everyone in attendance *guilty*. You can DL it below. Lastly, Rhymefest paid tribute to Michael Jackson, doning some MJ inspired attire and performing...
