My hometown, Chicago has recently been receiving a lot of media attention not only because of its high crime rate but for it's blazin underground hip-hop scene. Chicago aka "Chiraq's" rap community basically started what is known as drill music. Rappers from the Chi have been receiving worldwide recognition with artists like Chief Keef, Lil Herb, Dreezy & more. King Louie is also one of the innovators of drill music but hasn't got much attention as his peers. King L has been featured on Kanye's album YEEZUS and has his picture on the cover of Common's new album Nobody's Smiling.

Despite all the attention and being signed to Epic Records, King Louie has yet to come out with an official album but his mixtapes never disappoint. The rapper's new mixtape Tony has been receiving a lot of love from the hip-hop community. On the mixtape are unforgettable songs like "Difference" feat Slitta , "Live and Die In Chicago" and "B.O.N". King L takes fans into the life of a Chicago drilla and has more of a grittier flow on this mixtape. I listened to the entire mixtape and it wasn't one track that I could not connect with on some level. Louie is exactly what hip-hop needs because in world so full of facades and fakery everyone is looking for that one artist who is gonna keep it real.
LISTEN TO THE TONY HERE !
