After a few editions focused much more on either straight-ahead or indie rock, it’s time for the 6OGs to change gears a bit and take a tour of current and classic Chicago hip-hop, in honor of the genre (and most of us OGs) turning 50, with Congolese guitar/funk thrown in for fun. In each case, the goal is to take the excessive heat warnings of the summer across so much of the US (and world) and translate them into musical fever and excitement. It can be hard to want to move when it’s sweltering, but we are confident these will get you going.
