If fans of much-loved local DJ mash-up duo The Hood Internet have learned anything over the years, it's that a new mixtape can only mean good things.

ABX and STV SLV are teaming up with local streetwear company Fourth is King tonight for a one-night-only pop-up shop to celebrate the release of The Mixtape Volume 8. Head west to Humboldt Park's Rational Park gallery and event space (2557 W. North Ave.) between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. for a hosted bar, preview of the comfort-focused clothing line's fall line and new beats from The Hood Internet.

Founded in 2010, Fourth is King's designs embody the urban music, skateboarding and street art scenes in Chicago much like similarly successfully shops Leaders and Jugrnaut. For their eighth mixtape, The Hood Internet called upon the company to design its GIF-tastic cover art. Limited hard copies of the new release will also be available at tonight's pop-up shop.

A digital release of The Mixtape Volume 8 will be available through the DJs' website the following week.
