BBU: CHI DONT DANCE

Chi town  is churning out some seriously good new school hip-hop these days. If you are a fan of Cool Kids , you are going to dig the Windy City’s newest talent about to blow up, BBU (aka. the less than PC, Bin Ladens Blowin’ Up or Black, Brown and Ugly). Their new single, “Chi Don’t Dance” could be, as the band suggests, the first bona fide summer jam to get at us this year.  While it does carry the cadence of a regional hit, BBU has taken ” a simple idea, and spun it into something heartening and communal, a flavorful medley of call-and-response, spitfire rhymes (“MTV gave me ADD, BET taught me to hate me”) and beat structures so primal that even the shyest of partygoers will be forced to show us what they got.” So check it out, Juke, shimmy, rock , bounce, do whatever the fuck feels good.
