Reset checks in with Chicago hip-hop artist Che “Rhymefest” Smith to talk about how he’s getting through the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this week’s episode John meets with American rapper and prolific creator, Che “Rhymefest” Smith to discuss Hip-Hop, his upcoming album, and Hollywood acting debut, along with topics ranging from Chicago’s youth, spirituality, various life changing trips around the world, and much more. Rhymefest's upcoming album is titled Love Lessons Part 1, and as you'll hear in this conversation, Love is a topic at front of mind right now for Che. This episode also includes the world-premier of an amazing track from the upcoming album, featuring Black Thought (aka Tariq Trotter of The Roots) & Raheem DeVaughn. Rhymefest has won multiple Grammys, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award, but as he says: that stuff you can just Google; in this conversation he goes much deeper.

Emilio Estevez has been working behind the camera for decades now. But his latest film, “The Public”, is a labor of love. It centers around a public library in Cincinnati on the eve of a snowstorm, and how the library has become a key gathering spot for the city’s homeless population. His film stars hip-hop artists and Chicago activist Che “Rhymefest” Smith, who also joins the conversation. And we talk about how Chicago’s next mayor can best spur development in the neighborhoods that need it most.

Today on Chicago Newsroom Guest Host Kitty Kurth is joined by two guest who know an awful lot about gun violence and present some interesting and innovative ways to address the scourge that it has become. Kathleen Sances from GPAC Gun Violence Prevention PAC talks about legislation in the Illinois legislature which if enacted would save lives in Chicago, and throughout the State of Illinois. Also joining Kitty is Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe winning songwriter and “artivist” Che Rhymefest Smith, a well-known figure on the Chicago scene, who’s the Creative Director of Donda’s House and who has been working for years trying to prevent all types of violence. This program was produced by Chicago Access Network Television (CAN TV).

Che "Rhymefest" Smith, Ginger Evans and Mary Catherine Curran are panelists. The rapper/political organizer, the commissioner of Chicago's Department of Aviation and the comedian join us in the City of Big Shoulders for a show on transitions — from here to there, from low to high and from fish to humans. Jesse Dukes is fact-checker.

Steve Levitt, Eugene Mirman, Alexandra Petri, Che “Rhymefest” Smith and Major Garrett are among this season's stars. Here's a taste of what you'll hear in our new season. We've got 10 new episodes — one a week — beginning June 4th.

Due to recent programming changes, June 5 is the final Afternoon Shift. We take this hour to celebrate the show and the city we love: Chicago. What we've always tried to do is have a robust conversation about how Chicagoans live their lives together. Whether that's lighthearted exchanges on how cyclists or drivers act, or more serious discussions about how to fix our Chicago's biggest problems. So, we ask our listeners: what conversations aren't we having enough in Chicago? What aren't we talking about? We're joined by Justin Kaufmann, host of “The Download” on WGN and the former Executive Producer of the Afternoon Shift. Plus, Scott Smith, director at Touchvision, WBEZ reporter Natalie Moore, and Che “Rhymefest” Smith.
