After feeding listeners a steady stream of singles throughout this past year and subsequently having several of his cuts featured in EARMILK's weekly hip-hop feature Straight No Chase, yesterday Chicago's Kami de Chukwu unveiled his debut solo project. Despite several delays the SaveMoney representative delivers with a strong debut mixtape entitled, Light. Coming out of the talented ranks of Chi-City's burgeoning SaveMoney collective, Kami is the latest promising emcee to emerge from the crew's ranks which includes a roster of emcees, producers and visual artists.
