Wednesdays at the Funky Buddha Lounge are for getting to know the urban artists who have recently signed to major labels. Chicago has become a hot bed for major labels seeking new talent because of the burgeoning South Side scene. This weekly series will feature some of the hottest new artists and will be live, unplugged and intimate from DJ Lil' John's VIP Lounge.

This Wednesday's artists are Pheave, who's single "Motorcycle" has been getting airplay, Preast, and National Freestyle Champ - Juice. Keep the middle of the week open for other talent coming to the FBL such as Mikkey, Shawnna and Qualo. Each artist will be accompanied by Chicago's own Zzaje. These showcases are hosted by New Music Live and TRC Signature Models.
