2009_11_MTVJams.jpg We thought we had missed out the first go round, but MTV Jams' Chi Day, originally scheduled for November 14 is taking place right now, all day long on the network.

Curated by Andrew Barber of locally based hip-hop blog Fake Shore Drive and supported in part by WGCI, Chi Day features music videos from Windy City talent including Kid Sister, Twista, Jennifer Hudson, the Cool Kids, Rhymefest, Lupe Fiasco and scores more. In addition to showing their love for our city's musicians through videos, host Sway will hit the streets with rapper David Banner for interviews with proactive non-profits, historical personalities, and of course, local residents. Tune in now for a spotlight on Chicago music.
