600 Breezy is without a doubt a Chicago mainstay. Emerging from the Drill movement that took the nation by storm, 600 forged his own path with his unique flow and vocals which endeared him to fans across the globe. Having overcome personal hardships and tragedy, 600’s circumstances fueled his work ethic, releasing a bevy of mixtapes and even captured the attention of rap superstar Drake, who used the then newcomers vocals on his More Life playlist track “Lose You.” The fanfare was short-lived though as 600 Breezy was arrested on a probation violation. In his time away, he received much support, included from Drake himself.

After serving 16 months, 600 was released and wasted no time getting back into the studio. Fast forward to 2020, now on Asylum Records, the Chicago native has returned with the release of Iceman Edition 2. The project is a departure from his more recent sounds, describing it as an apologetic return to his gangsta roots.

“I went back to my hood to reconnect with myself,” says Breezy. “I locked myself into the studio, slept on floors with my people, and watched the sun come up for days. I had to shake the Hollywood nonsense off me and get back to shit-talking Breezo. I created this project strictly for the streets.”

The 10-track project features production from Kid Hazel (21 Savage), Bankroll Got It (DaBaby), Womatictrack (2 Chainz), and more. Further upping the ante, 600 Breezy released a visual to accompany the project in the form of the 3ZFilms-directed “Signature.”

The Gramercy Theatre was sold out for Lil Durk’s show this past Saturday, but that did not stop die-hard fans from lining up outside the venue looking for a way in. I must admit that being inside was way better than outside! The DJ had the synergy in the building super high even before anybody touched the stage. Dramatic and flashy are the perfect words to describe the way he opened up the show.

Durk popped out with diamonds all over his wrist to match his neck piece and he even had his jeweler on the stage with him! “The Intro” was the first song he performed and there was nothing but screaming from the crowd. That was only the first of the many hits he performed that night but it definitely set the tone for the rest of the show! “Gas and Mud”, “Guns and Money”, “Make it Back”, and “52 bars Pt 2” are some of the other songs that the crowd knew word for word. “My Beyoncé” his most recent banger featuring his lady Dej Loaf made all the females in the crowd lose but sadly it was the last song he performed.

Even though Durk was the only headliner for the event the stage was full of performers. Hypno Carlito, 600 Breezy, and New York’s own 2 Milli all got some shine at the event. While 2 Milli was performing his hit single “Milly Rock” the crowd of course started to do the signature dance moves that go along with the record. Overall the show was full of energy and excitement! Make sure to check out Lil Durk when he comes to your city because he may bring more surprise guests!
