Today local label Vinyl for a Cause drops a limited-edition vinyl seven-inch called VFAC 004 in collaboration with Chicago-based online record marketplace Reverb LP. It’s the fourth Vinyl for a Cause release, and like the first three, it brings together two local artists to reimagine each other’s original creations—and half of the net proceeds go to a nonprofit chosen by the artists.
On side B, Coval flips Woods’s “LSD” (featuring Chance the Rapper) into “Snow Day,” a song dedicated to Chicago’s winters.
“The story of arts in Chicago is one of deep collaboration—networks and crews of artists who build and collaborate and put on for one another,” Coval explains. “The Chicago creative community is rich and vibrant. If we stay open and connected and supportive of one another, we have the power to change the city’s future toward the more equitable and fresh.”
