BJ The Chicago Kid adds a bit of his South Side soul to J Dilla's "So Far To Go" during a visit to Sway In The Morning on SiriusXM Shade 45. His grits & gravy freestyle take is an ode to his Chi-Town roots and the road to success that recently landed him a Grammy nod for his performance on ScHoolboy Q's Oxymoron LP standout "Studio." The interview - like the short set - is full of wisdom, industry advice and plenty of evidence of BJ's insatiable drive and raw talent. Check the footage below to watch the full interview. Stay tuned for more from BJ The Chicago Kid.
