CODE F.I. Releases Long Awaited "Unlikely Heroes" Mixtape

The long awaited mixtape from Chicago hip-hop duo CODE F.I. has finally made its way to the net..."Unlikely Heroes". This 16-track compilation features production from CODE F.I.'s fellow Sacred Circle beat-meister Harvy Allbangers and also has guest appearances from other Sacred Circle members The IL.Literits, Level Ground, Lord Shrewd and R&B vocalist Demond Stylz. Led by the satirical, infectious club anthem, "Cook Dem Gritz (Bullsh**)", "Unlikely Heroes" is a slight departure from CODE F.I.'s past projects with more party/radio singles like the alcohol-influenced "Voltron" and the tailor made "New Money". Like all of their music, CODE F.I. takes a break from the partying to educate and inspire on "i.C.I.R.O.C" and "InJustUs". This is an all around fun album and will definitely reintroduce listeners to a CoupleOfDopeEmceesFinallyInIt in 2014. To download your copy of "Unlikely Heroes" you can go to CODE F.I.'s Bandcamp page or Soundcloud. You can hear more music and find out about tour dates at their Reverbnation page.

Redline Tap Goes Ham For "Cook Dem Gritz"

At a recent show at the Red Line Tap in Chicago, The IL.Literits, Level Ground, and Harvy Allbangers did a 2 hour set that was also supposed to feature CODE F.I. Both members of CODE F.I. had to miss the show due to illness, but that didn't stop the crowd from requesting their club anthem "Cook Dem Gritz (Bullsh**)"

Watch as the deck goes up at Redline Tap when The IL.Literits hold their Chi-town fam down and play "Cook Dem Gritz" in CODE F.I.'s anthem. Ladies are dancing, everybody's singin' the hook and the gritz are stirrin'!
