interviews.If you ask any rapper to come out of Chicago in the last 15 years, they can tell you how much of a hustle it is to break out. In a game where connections make success happen faster, the reality in Chicago is rather inverted. This story can be directly applied to 1st & 15th, Lupe Fiasco's label, and to a greater degree, Gemstones.
