Naledge is Born...

Warning... For Mature Audiences Only!

Just a quick PSA to all of you out there listening. You need to have Naledge's mixtape, Chicago Picasso! And while you're at it... I hope you went and got the Kidz in the Hall album, The In Crowd. After a few listens to this it's clear that Naledge is going to make a name for himself sooner or later. This is one of the best albums that I've heard in a minute. Lyrically he is SOLID, and the production isn't bad. If you need someone to dumb down their lyrics for you... well... Rahhh Trick, Rahh!!! Go do the Superman. Naledge is proving that Chicago has talent all throughout it.

Naledge Constructs Musical Art With “Chicago Picasso”

Naledge, 1/2 of the hip-hop group Kidz In The Hall, is readying his mix CD masterpiece, "Chicago Picasso." Crafted on the streets of the CHI, and encompassing his storied journey over the past couple of years as Naledge helped establish the brand of Kidz In The Hall, he unveils a unique perspective to his hometown.

"I wanted to show all aspects of Chicago, not just one sound. For a long time we've seen a specific side of Chicago Rap, but this mix cd provides new perspective."

"I wouldn't call this a mixtape so much as an exhibit...hence the name Chicago Picasso. The same way Pablo Picasso created a commissioned statue that has sat downtown in Chicago for years of interpretation; I want this mixtape to float the same way."

"Chicago Picasso" contains 20 original tracks by Naledge featuring appearances by Bun B, Chip Tha Ripper, Jay Electronica, Mickey Factz, Mick Luter, Rhymefest, Carlita Durand, Curren$y, J Ivy, Russoul, Doe Boy, GLC & Fooch.

"Star Struck" featuring Rus Soul
