Anthony Pavel Performs on 'Good Day Chicago'

Chicago's music scene has been coming up and the city's media platforms have been responding well, continuing to tap into the increasingly illustrious collection of artists once again as they hosted Anthony Pavel to perform live on FOX's Windy City Live last week. Coming off the release of his recent debut project, Windows, that dropped last month and was followed by a show this past weekend with Zaramela. It's been a busy few weeks for Pavel but dude kills it per usual here.

Chance The Rapper Featured on ESPN

Chance The Rapper is preparing to release his third mixtape later this month, you might have heard about it recently. If you somehow managed to keep you head in the sand for his oversized performance last night at the Chicago Theater, his sky-high acrobatics across the city in his "Angels" video or his first pitch at the White Sox game which was preceded by news that Chance and co had redsesigned the team's hats. Well, ESPN was paying attention and this week tipped their cap to the hometown hero, calling his collaboration with the South Siders 'brilliant'.

To be honest, we can't really disagree. It's a sensical collab that has been teased since Chance's backing band and production team began affectionately calling themselves The Social Experiment or, 'soX' for short. There are surely more big things happening directly in Chance's future and we'll be here to bring it to you as it breaks!

If you weren't able to catch the show or are just looking to relive the action a bit, press play up top - Yak perfectly captured the energy of the evening.
