If you’re interested in rap music — specifically the Chicago scene — beyond what you hear on B96, there is no better place to go than Fake Shore Drive. The editor and founder, Andrew Barber, stopped by The Interview Show last month to talk about the site, what artists to look for this year in Chicago hip-hop (King Louie, YP, among others) and why Kanye West can’t live here anymore.

The next Interview Show — our four-year anniversary — is Friday, Feb. 17, at The Hideout (1354 W. Wabansia) at 6:30 p.m. Guests include WBEZ’s Steve Edwards, Hot Doug’s Doug Sohn, the Portable Models, Soup & Bread’s Martha Bayne and DePaul “embedded sociologist” and filmmaker Greg Scott.
