North Coast Music Festival
Just when you thought that September would make the end of summer music festivals in Chicago, the North Coast Music Festival comes to save your day! A little different scene than Lolla and Pitchfork, NCMF combines hip hop, trip hop, and jam bands to create an ambiance that supersedes all festivals to hit the streets of Chicago this summer. Some of the acts that got us interested are Chemical Bros., De La Soul, Pretty Lights, and Chicago’s own Lupe Fiasco. Before you throw in the towel for Summer ’10 Music Festivals make sure you check out NCMF.
Location: Union Park (1501 W Randolph St.)
Cost: 3-Day Pass $75, 1-Day $35

Chicago’s F. Stokes Hits the Scene
Chicago native F. Stokes hit the scene and his popularity is spreading like wildfire. His new, inventive, conscious style of hip hop is refreshing and inspiring.

Agree with his points or not, he stays true to his beliefs and that is admirable no matter what way you look at it. Check him out! Follow him on Twitter: @FdotStokes
