Chicago’s own, Fare Games is taking an opportunity to go big! Most people would think that being contacted by a random guy on the other side of the country saying that he could get you a shot would be pretty risky and would just think it wasn’t worth our time. Fare, on the other hand, saw this as a possible opening. He did what he was asked and sent some pieces to Island Def Jam Records. After a few weeks, during a normal train ride, Fare received a phone call on his way home from work. Out of the four tracks he sent them, the label had approved three to be put on a mix tape, Mixtape Kingz, that would be distributed throughout the record company. After all the paperwork was finished, his track “Get It In” is now available for purchase on Amazon. The track, as well as the entire mix tape are worth the listen. Be sure to get them and help support and show love to your local Chicago artist. Although Fare may not be officially signed to the label, he views this as “a great first shot at an industry gig.”

The track above is Fare’s freestyle over Drake‘s “The Ride”, which is the song that our mystery man from Cali originally heard. Fare’s version, though, is called “Gun Life.” And below, we have his first single off of his next mixtape, Arcade Games, called “The Smoov.”
