Food, Liquor And MTV
Snapshots from a moment.
1. “The rise of Chicago’s hip-hop scene has been heavily documented in the past couple of months, but MTV2 will go even deeper into the city with Sucker Free: Chicago,” Hip Hop Wired reports. “Artists such as Chief Keef, King Louie, LEP Bogus Boys, Sir Michael Rocks, GLC, Young Chop and plenty more will be on display.
“The Chicagorillas invite MTV2 into their city and talk about why the city has become so popular, through the eyes of the artists themselves. Sucker Free: Chicago debuts on MTV2 on July 11th at 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.”
(The show’s official page says “Sucker Free is going to the ground level of an emerging scene in America’s third largest city. Don’t miss Sucker Free: Chicago Sunday, July 15th at 11/10c on MTV2.”)
