[Guest Aundrea Jackson]

While Chicago is famous for its blues and jazz, its hip hop scene in recent years has emerged as a beacon of light for the youth in the city. With artists such as Kanye West, Common, and Twista leading the way, Chicago has begun to carve its niche in the multi-million dollar hip hop market. While the mainstream masses are familiar with the artists who have managed to grace MTV and other music television networks, for those people in and around Chicago, it is the underground hip hop scene that keeps real heads tuned in and ever watchful, waiting for the next Chi City super star to arrive.

IAmChiCity.com and celebrity booking agent and publicist, Aundrea Jackson BKA The Ghost Model, will release a unique compilation mixtape encompassing the totality of the Chicago Hip Hop scene: I Am Chi City Vol 1. This mixtape will feature freestyles, exclusive tracks, drops, and unexpected appearances. It will also be hosted by and feature images of top models and other talent from Chicago.

Every true Chicagoan believes they are the embodiment of all that is Chicago and exclaim "I Am Chi City" with pride. I Am Chi City Vol 1 will help to fuel the love of Chicago Hip Hop whether you are from Chicago or not. For those outside, this is a unique first-hand experience of all that Chi City Hip Hop has to offer including tracks from Twista, ShowTime, Lupe Fiasco, Common and more. Also, the hottest underground artists of the Chi City scene will be featured heavily on the mixtape and given a chance to be heard on a national scale by those who are only familiar with Kanye and others.

I Am Chi City Vol.1 will be distributed not only through every artist featured, but also at events, and to Djs, producers, taste makers and industry movers and shakers, etc. across the nation. A release party is being planned where copies of the mixtape will be distributed freely to event-goers. Physical copies of I Am Chi City Vol.1 will be distributed nationwide as well as major magazines, websites, radio and TV. The mixtape will be promoted and distributed through email, bulletins, blogs, comments, etc. on The Ghost Model's Network of over 10,000 industry contacts and websites.
