• Concert Review: Lil Wayne at Sprint Center, 1/09/09

• Q&A: Chicago rapper GLC

  GLC, aka Gangsta L. Crisis, came to town Sunday and Monday to promote the release of True to the Game, a hip-hop compilation album featuring industry giants like Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, T-Pain and Kanye West. A portion of the proceeds from sales of the album benefit Kansas City's Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. I met with GLC, whose song with Kanye West, "The Big Screen," appears on the album. The 31-year-old is the latest signee to West's G.O.O.D. Records label. This post contains portions of the
