Ever wonder

During his visit with Sway on Shade 45, Pretty thug P performed a few cuts off

Still on the radio run, Prodigy and Boogz Boogetz hit up Toca Tuesdays on Shade 45 and took charge of  Snoop’s “Tha Shiznit”. H.N.I.C. 3 out now.

Bay Area rapper Locksmith made his debut on Sway In The Morning and tackled whatever beat DJ Wonder threw at him. Tahiry seemed impressed.

You know the deal. DJ Wonder provides the 5 beats and Troy Ave spits. After the jump, Troy explains the origin behind his name and his hustle before the game.

Large Pro swung by Sway‘s morning show and delivered a performance. During his interview, he discussed his writing technique, collaborations in the 90s and his most memorable studio sessions.

For Rude Jude’s Throwback Thursdays on Shade 45, Big Boi called in to discuss OutKast’s classic LP, Aquemini. For an album that’s 14 years old, it sure hasn’t aged much. Towards the latter of the conversation, he talked about his next solo album Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors, and recording it in Canada.

Even with Statik out of town, the show continued on thanks to Sammy Needlz. Of course, the freestyles proceeded as well with Troy Ave taking a dip in Beanie’s track. allindstrom

In the best way he can, King Louie King L explains the reasoning behind his name change. If you still don’t get it, learn some Chi City slang below. Showtime drops later today.

In celebration of his bday, Fif chatted with Whoo Kid for Shade 45. In the 20 minute discussion, 50 spoke on his recent accident, free album 5 (Murder By Numbers), possible work with Weezy, Yeezy and Jeezy, Dr. Dre’s assistance on his next album Street King Immortal, and more. hhnm
