[Hip-Hop] Lucki Eck$ – Cholos

LUCKI ECK$
CHOLOS

Lucki Eck$ first grabbed our attention a couple years back with his debut mixtape, Alternative Trap, a supremely woozy, introspective take on the trap music coming out of his hometown of Chicago. Since then, he’s continued to delve deeper into that sound releasing an impressive follow-up in Body High positioning himself for big things this year. On his latest single, Eck$’s flow actually diverges a bit from his usual drowsy charm as he employs an infectious rolling delivery to match a jazzy instrumental provided by Infamous Legends. “Cholos” still holds the core facets of Lucki’s Xanax-inspired ethos but does so in a way that feels slightly more energetic with great results. Listen for yourself above–we’re excited to see what 2015 has in store for Eck$.

GOD KNOWS (Prod. PLU2ONASH)

Today, we’re proud to bring you “God Knows,” the latest single from young Chicagoan, Lucki Eck$. Inspired by his predilection for Xanax, “God Knows” is a plodding, hazy number that falls right in line with the moody, yet mellow sound he’s established for himself over the last few years. The new track is an excerpt from the forthcoming Chicago Sight ‘N Sound mixtape, a joint effort curated by the FDC and 119 Productions that will showcase many of the city’s most talented up-and-coming artists. The exciting new project is currently set to include additional contributions from Mick Jenkins, Saba, Ibn Inglor, Jarred AG, The O’mys, Kami De Chukwu, Martin $ky, Hurt Everybody, GTW, J2K, and a slew of other Windy City natives. Listen to the tune above, and make sure to check out the mixtape when it drops on February 10th.
