Das Racist‘s Victor Vazquez, aka Kool A.D., has released a new solo mixtape available for download, The Palm Wine Drinkard. Currently in the middle of an international tour, the trio hits Australia later this month for select dates, including Big Day Out.

Wanna know where they get their lyrical chops from? The guys explain.

Chicago has long been one of the best food destinations in the world, and its goods go way beyond deep dish pizza and hot dogs. Time Out Chicago has released its “100 best things we ate and drank” from the year, and the all-inclusive list categorizes everything from food trucks to beers found across town.

If you’re still celebrating, top on the drink list includes an “old-fashioned injected with a syringe into an orb of ice.” And if craft cocktails aren’t your thing, maybe a Mathias Imperial IPA from brewpub Haymarket is more up your alley. The guys at HopCast wax poetic on the local favorite.
