West Side hip-hop group Pivot Gang will take the stage at Millennium Park on Sept. 20 as the group headlines Vocalo's Summer Finale, a concert celebrating Chicago's music scene and the final days of summer.

The group sat down with Vocalo host Nudia Hernandez to play some of their favorite songs from Chief Keef, Tems and Mk.Gee — plus premiere their new single out Oct. 3. They also delved into green room necessities, pre-show rituals and what fans can expect from the Summer Finale performance.

Sad Boys For Real! Pivot Gang member, Mfn Melo, slides to the studio to discuss the formation of Pivot Gang, moving through life without his best friends, having a daughter, and the experiences that have shaped him into the Melo we see today. Ed Sheeran says in the song Tides, "I have grown up, I am a father now /Everything has changed, but I am still the same somehow." Throughout life, we experience things that shape us as people; however, at the core we remain the same person we've always been. Our perspective shifts on how we see the people & the things around us, and we are cautious about those we let in. Melo has experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, yet he remains grateful everyday for the things he has. From nationwide tours to losing his best friends five minutes after talking; these are all things he's had to navigate while coming to understand himself and his emotions. For Melo, everything has changed from when he was just a kid hanging out with his friends. Also discussed, becoming a father, influence of growing up in Chicago, & leaning on vices when struggling with emotions.

Pivot Gang Co-Founder, FRSH WATERS, slides to the studio to discuss starting Pivot Gang, being incarcerated early on, and how the losses of close family have impacted him both mentally & professionally. Frsh has faced adversity head on in many ways throughout his life; however, he's never been one to back down from the challenge. Instead, he's pivoted his life & turned his negative situations into positives. In the song, "Time" by G Eazy he says, "All the money in the world, I can't find where they selling time / Or a button that rewind, I'm just thinkin', sippin' this wine, let me catch you up." The idea that time is something you can't get back is something we're all familiar with, but the idea of not being able to get back time with family hurts even more. Frsh & I discuss the things he's learned from his late brother Squeak & what he would tell him if he were here today.

Each month this year, we're going to revisit an episode from the 200+ episodes in the AirGo Archives and bring that conversation back to the forefront. This month, we're revisiting our conversation with the magnificent recording artist Saba from 2015. Since then, Sab has ascended to a global spotlight–he killed a feature on Dreamville's collaborative Revenge of the Dreamers III, has released two critically-acclaimed projects Bucket List Project and CARE FOR ME, and now lives in LA with his brother Joseph Chilliams and his partner(who you may have heard on last week's episode). At the time of recording, Sab had recently released Comfort Zone, a beautiful project that solidified his spot as one of Chicago's hottest rising stars, and was about to play a show at Township, a small venue in Logan Square–the venue sold out so quickly that they ended up moving the show the day before. We talk about his craft, the solidification of Pivot Gang, and much more. Recorded 11/18/2015 on WHPK 88.5FM in Chicago Music from this week's show: Fighter - @sabapivot x @kainamusic

L’un bédave son surplus sur le balcon, l’autre est dans la street avec sa potion magique. Les deux jeunes rappeurs, produits par l’insubmersible DJ Kore et son label AWA, ont sorti leurs premiers projets.Révélé avec le freestyle « Pétou », Diddi Trix livre « Trix City », un album de trap teinté d’électronique. Sur cette mixtape aux mille palettes, il décline de nombreuses couleurs musicales avec une batterie battante, une voix d’enfant détonante et une facilité déconcertante.Avec une aisance similaire, Zola publie le tant attendu « Cicatrices ». Un album qui confirme que le rookie a (enfin !) trouvé son public. Certes, la moitié des titres est un copié-collé du rap US mais l’originalité des autres morceaux réside dans une sonorité trap déstructurée à la Koba LaD difficile à oublier.
