BJ the Chicago Kid may have moved from Chicago to Los Angeles at age 19, but his hometown remains instrumental to his music, as demonstrated by his new album, In My Mind. The frequent collaborator with other Chicagoans including Kanye West and Chance the Rapper tells LA Weekly: “That’s what makes me who I am. There’s no BJ without Chicago. That’s home.” [LA Weekly]
