Chicago Rapper Lil Eazzyy Is ‘Onna Come Up’ With His New Remix Featuring G Herbo
The two Windy City rappers represent multiple generations of the city’s drill music legacy. …
Chicago rapper Lil Eazzyy made an impressive entry to the rap game in 2020 with his debut EP Underrated and its lead single, “Onna Come Up.” The 18-year-old was still in grade school during the first wave of Chicago drill music, but it clearly had an effect on him and he’s got a knack for expressing the numbed sentiments that originators Chief Keef, G Herbo, Lil Durk, and King Louie brought to the nascent genre. Maybe that’s why he was able to secure one of those artists, G Herbo, to appear on the song’s remix, keeping pace with his elder the entire time.
In the intervening years since the genre’s initial explosion out of the Windy City’s youth movement in the early 2010s, many of its original purveyors have recently rejuvenated their careers and attained even greater heights, with Herbo chief among them. His pair of collaborations with Atlanta producer Southside — Swervo and Still Swervin — raised his profile considerably so that when he returned to solo work in 2020 with PTSD, the album debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and he appeared on Forbes‘ 30 Under 30 list.
Unfortunately, Herbo’s resurgence could be derailed by his recent arrest for identity fraud but giving his blessing to the next generation may be the best way to keep his name buzzing in the Chicago scene for another big comeback down the line.

Lil Eazzyy is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Album Review
R3b3l I explores self-discovery through sound on “A Different Frequency” album
In a music scene often ruled by lyrics, R3b3l I proves that you can tell a powerful story without a single lyric. “A Different Frequency” is a twelve-track instrumental hip-hop and rap-inspired album inviting you into a deeply personal journey of growth, self-discovery, and purpose, speaking its message purely through mood, rhythm, and expression.
“Dance Before the Throne” opens the album, immediately establishing the tone of reflection and reverence. From here, “Elevate” and “The Wave” continue, adding momentum and a sense of movement and change. Each piece is a chapter in a larger story, allowing you to interpret the music with your own experience.
Songs like “I AM Power,” “Level Up,” and “Awaken” seem to be a big part of the progression of the album. The energy is one of empowerment and inner evolution. “The Jazzy Hop” is a nice change of pace in style, with a smooth, groove-flavored taste that shows R3b3l I’s versatility. Meanwhile, “Carousel,” “Raindrops,” and “Heartbeat” are moments of introspection that balance uplifting themes with emotional depth and openness.
The project wraps up on an emotional high with “Ancestors,” a heartfelt tribute to the forebears and the invisible forces that still influence us on our journeys. It’s a fitting way to close out an album about connection, growth, and purpose. “A Different Frequency” is more than a collection of tracks with carefully constructed instrumentals and thoughtful sequencing, and it’s a rewarding journey for those who want immersive instrumental hip-hop with heart, imagination, and substance.

“Signalling Signatures” finds Mr Pigeons exploring dreams, truth, and hidden meanings
While the first look at an upcoming project usually sets the expectations, Mr Pigeons does something more ambitious with “Signalling Signatures.” With this release, the hip-hop artist opens up a portal into “Shining Arras,” inviting you into a world where dreams, symbols, and hidden meanings collide.
“Signalling Signatures” is an exploration of the thin veil between reality and imagination, based on themes of altered consciousness and shifting perspectives. The song is a mix of mythology, film, and spiritual symbolism and encourages you to look beyond the ordinary and find the messages in everyday life. Mr Pigeons delivers with purpose and swagger, blending introspection with crisp storytelling. He also renders the abstract ideas of the song accessible.
The thing about “Signalling Signatures” that is so compelling is its sheer audacity to challenge you. There are no easy answers in this song, only a quest for truth, perception, and uncertainty. A good opening chapter to “Shining Arras,” and it manages to build up suspense as well as showing Mr Pigeons’ artistic vision. “Signalling Signatures” is a good introduction to what could be an interesting new creative phase for the artist.
