Over my past six years covering the Chicago music scene, Ausar is without a doubt one of the most skilled + gifted emcees that I have had the pleasure of getting to know. He never really got the full chance to focus on music during my first few years of knowing him because he was busy getting a degree from the University of Illinois, but since graduating not too long ago, he has had more time to put into his craft. I (and many others) have been hounding Ausar for years because he loves to not put out projects, so earlier this year when he announced that he would be releasing an EP at some point, I made sure to stay on him about following through with the release because I was so excited to hear it. A couple of days ago, Ausar blessed us with his new EP titled Flight Of The Honeybee, and it’s already one of my favorite Chicago projects of the year. This is a five-song tape that is based around, you guessed it, honeybees! I know when you hear that the first time, you might be like, what? But trust me, this man Ausar made a memorable tape here, it’s filled with great music + it has a great theme. I don’t want to keep you waiting though, dive into this new project below!
