Tonight, rapper Big K.R.I.T. paid a visit to young Chicago artists as part of Donda House‘s “Behind The Mic” series. With a surprise visit from Chicago’s own, Lupe Fiasco, K.R.I.T. gave some great advice to the up and coming performers. K.R.I.T. will also stick around the Windy City tomorrow, as he headlines Donda House’s spring graduation. Donda’s House is a non-profit organization that honors the educational legacy of Kanye West’s late mother, Dr. Donda West. The organization holds a number of great programs and opportunities for Chicago’s youth, providing a safe and creative environment for Chicago’s aspiring artists.

Donda House’s “Behind the Mic” series is one of our favorite community programs by the non-profit, which has invited Big Sean, No-ID and more to give unique and valuable advice to the community’s brightest. Along with their community showcase at the Common Ground Foundation’s “AAHH! Fest”, Chicago artists have the opportunity to continue the city’s legacy of being one of the world’s best music hubs.

One of our favorite things about Lollapalooza is its aftershows. The aftershows not only allow fans who weren’t able to score wristbands to the actual festival to also see some great sets, but it showcases the beautiful intimate local venues (Aragon, The Mid, The Riviera and more) of our nation’s Second City, Chicago. This year’s Lollapalooza Aftershows are just as great as ever, with a number of performances that we recommend catching. Performing official Lollapalooza Aftershows this year are Alesso, Tove Lo, Gary Clark Jr., The War on Drugs, Glass Animals, alt-J, SZA, Mick Jenkins, Marina and the Diamonds, Logic and many more!

Check out the full list of shows at D0312.com!

Drake and Chance The Rapper Hang Backstage Despite “Draft Day” Diss

Despite Drake’s jab at Chance The Rapper in his 2014 track ‘Draft Day’, the two were friendly last night as they hung out backstage at the United Center in Chicago. Minutes ago, Chance’s brother (Taylor Bennett) posted a photo with Drake, which he tagged his big bro Chance for the camera credits.

“If I’d leave this shit to chance, I’da picked a name like Chance the Rapper,” rapped Drake in ‘Draft Day’. To be fair though, Drake stressed in the next bars that there was no offense as he “doesn’t know that n*gga.” Well… he knows him now, and let’s just hope that this meeting leads to an eventual collaboration. A Chance verse on Views From The 6 perhaps?

Check out Taylor’s photo with Drizzy below (took by Chance himself).
