After dropping the track last month, Chicago’s Kembe X returns with a new visual for “Feeling Like The Man.” The Roberto Mario directed music video is more than fitting as it features the budding emcee on a yacht and surrounded by beautiful women. If that doesn’t make you feel like a man, then I don’t know what does.

Watch “Feeling Like The Man” above and stay tuned for more.

After Kembe X ‘s set, Philly rapper Tunji Ige took to the stage to perform some tracks from his popular EP, The Love Project including “Day to Day” and “Ball is Life”.

Finally Alex Wiley, accompanied by a live band, hit the stage. The young Chi-town rapper had the audience in the palm of his hands as he rapped a plethora of his tracks from “Village Party”. During a brief  “smoke intermission”, the rapper announced that his upcoming project will be released on March 10th.

All in all, Alex Wiley and his live band showed out! If you missed him on tour in your city, you’re still in luck! The Chi-town native will be performing at SXSW before he embarks on the European leg of his tour in April.
