Westside Don & Howie Stackz deliver incredible vibes w/ project “What’s to You?!
The Chicago music scene has been growing one day at a time and it’s slowly building on the infrastructure it’s needed for forty years. Every day efforts are being taken to bring the city together through amazing sounds & community building. Swim Team members Howie Stackz & Westside Don have been huge components of the change taking place on the south side. Through podcast episodes, multiple curated events that reached capacity, powerful organizing & community building, & most importantly music that stands on it’s own..
“What’s to You?!” is a thirteen record project that shows awesome song structure, witty barplay, cohesive mixing, & outstanding project replay value with no skips. The project has very honest and vulnerable wordplay as the production from Desirez Beats, L Sabio Beats, Ric & Thad, Isaiah 22, Cedes Beats & Dee B is very in sync with how the project pulls no punches talking about the world as it evolves and how we grow with it. With the heavy topic material talked about on this project each record is still very jiggy and you can dance to every record. We took our time with this review because we wanted to make sure that the unique sound both Stackz and Don bring to this project is acknowledged. Each record captures the many emotions both artists have perfectly as features like LilBrian Itsago, I AM LO, fellow Swim Team member Heff Bank$, Manasseh, & Jaani help create a universe that is sonically amazing music to smoke to and keep on repeat..
Our favorite records to play in the office are “Too Far Gone”, “Ego” ft Manasseh & Jaani, “Shady”, & “Man, Please” ft Heff Bank$. Take a listen and let us know what you think..
