Chicago-based DJ/Producer Different Sleep hits the web with a slowed down flip of the backside ode “I Won” by Future and Kanye West.

Producer/Guitarist for Misun Nacey rings up a strong single with the Angel Haze-featuring “I Own It”. A sharp mix of Mad Decent-styled bounce and pop radio-relevant hooks, the way fun “I Own It” is simply excellent. Look for “I Own It” out now on Casablanca Records.

Chicago emcee Saba who featured on Chance the Rapper’s blogger rap fave Acid Rap debuts the R&B-laced “Burnout”.

Saba’s COMFORTzone is out July 15.
