This EP Poppa features artist Mick Jenkins, Alex Wiley, and GG. Years ago you might have heard of Calez in relation with the famous Chicago rap group Save Money. Back in 2012-2013 save money was a truly dominant force in Chicago hip-hop, doing shows all over the city featuring artist like Calez, St. Millie, legit, kemba x, Alex Wiley. Save money featured superstar artists Vic Mensa, chance the rapper who's sound and following have grown exponentially these days you'll find them headlining their own shows and selling out. Others artist from the group included Nico Segal, Towkio, Kami, Brian Fresco, Daily Austin, Caleb James, Sterling Hayes. If you were a big fan of Chicago rap music at this time the names of these artists should pop off the screen. Calez new EP gives signs that Chicago lyrical rap scene is no longer going to be overlooked, lots of these artists seem to have been stagnated in the past years but now we can all be excited about what 2018 has to offer.
