A year of rap from #NewChicago

On “Last Call,” Chicago rapper Lil2Posh talks about his come-up in underground hip-hop and the #NewChicago movement of which he’s arguably a part. The marathon ten-minute track, built from icy synth stabs and mushroom clouds of bass, describes his first local show, an April 2025 blowout at Reggies Rock Club where he shared the bill with one of his earliest supporters, Chicago rapper Thirteendegrees°. Two months later, Thirteen brought Lil2Posh onstage at the Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash. That same summer, Posh, Thirteen, and scenemate Kels! played a pop-up in front of Wicker Park streetwear shop Half Evil—and Posh mentions that show too, noting that they took turns performing on top of a Mercedes-Benz truck.
