We are the Chicago outfit. Made up of two MCs BillZ &Espo.we are cousins and live in the Chicago land area. We got are group name from the" Chicago Mob" (Chicago Outfit).Which we are related to "Sam Giancana" aka "Mooney".

Espo- It was about 3 years ago I just moved back to Chicago from Seattle.I was making music out there. When I got back Billz started writing while I was gone, so we decided to do some tracks together. Some how BillZ got us booked for a show in Joliet,IL. So we did the show and had a great crowed reaction and that inspired us to try to make a career out of it as the Chicago Outfit.

It would have to be throwing our own show and have it sell out! it was a great feeling to see all those people supporting what we where trying to do.
4. How do you guys deal with writers-block?
Espo- Honestly I sit down and listen to a artist that inspires me,some good weed,and I draw. See I was a graffiti artist before I decided to take being a MCs serious. so drawing seems to help get the wheels turning. BillZ- I really just walk away,hit some weed and come back to it.
5. Dead Or alive if y'll could feature with one artist, who & why?
Espo- Ace Hood, because he has a great delivery ,and flow.

Chicago Police believe members of the notorious Mexican street gang La Raza used an AR-style rifle to carry out a brazen attack on Tuesday that left two plainclothes officers wounded and touched off a citywide manhunt. Gunmen shot up an unmarked police van with a handgun and a .223 caliber rifle, most likely an AR-15, department sources told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Police say both officers were shot with a “high-powered weapon” — one in the hip and arm and the other in the back. The officers were released from Stroger Hospital on Wednesday after receiving treatment for non-life threatening wounds.
“It’s a miracle the officers are still alive,” said police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.
Investigators are currently questioning three “persons of interest”.

Ebony magazine, a publication that has been a staple in the Black community for decades, is cutting their staff by nearly a third and moving its editorial operations to Los Angeles, reports the Chicago Tribune.
Johnson Publishing, the family-owned business that founded Ebony and Jet, sold both publications to Texas-based private equity firm CVG Group in May 2016 for an undisclosed price. Since then, Ebony has struggled to find its footing under the new owners, plagued by everything from delayed subscription deliveries to unpaid freelance writers.
Former President Barack Obama announced that he and his wife, Michelle, are donating $2 million to summer jobs programs in Chicago.
“One of the things that we’ll be starting this year is Michelle and I are personally going to donate $2 million to our summer jobs programs here in the community,” he said at the South Shore Cultural Center. "[It's] so that right away young people can get to work and we can start providing opportunities to all of them.”
The former president used the event to unveil plans for a 200,000-square-foot campus on Chicago’s South Side that will house the Obama Presidential Center. Obama said the center will be used to "train the next generation of leadership, the Michelle Robinsons of today and the Barack Obamas of today."

Chicago Est.1837 Recently Caught Up With Up N Coming Artist "Yung Nervo"
1. Can you introduce yourself to the people?
I go by the name Yung Nervo. I started rapping at an early age of 9 during the Cash Money era. I was born in Chicago but later moved to Virginia where I found out I had a knack for writing and producing music. I started producing at 12 years old and that same year I bought a preamp and microphone for home recording, then the rest is history.
2. When did you decide to make a career of music, and what inspired that?
I decided that I wanted to make music a career when I was in high school. I started off doing it for fun, but my family really pushed me and inspired me to go harder with the music.
3. Whats been the most memorable moment of your grind thus far?
My most memorable moment was being able to open up for Bo Deal and collaboring with him on numerous tracks. This meant a lot considering I had just moved back to Chicago with no fanbase or other support.
4. How do you deal with writers-block?
I usually just stop writing because if the lyrics don't flow then its not coming from the heart. I write from experiences so my best method is going out into the world soaking everything in, then leave all my emotions on the song.
5. Dead Or alive if you could feature with one artist, who & why?
I have to be cliche and say Tupac. He was multidimensional and more than just a rapper, but an artist.
6. What are you currently promoting or working on?
Currently I am just working on singles. I have an archive of songs that I've never put out, so later down the line I will pick the best from those and compile a project.
7. Where do you see yourself the next 3-5 years?
I see myself building a foundation and fanbase. I also see myself being the headliner for shows instead of the opening act.
