Chicago, IL — September 2025 — Chicago has always been a city that shapes the sound of hip-hop, and now it has its official soundtrack. Internationally respected DJ and tastemaker @DJSmokeMixtapes unleashes Summertime Chi Vol. 1, a 46-track mixtape that brings together Chicago’s legends, rising stars, and street anthems in one powerful project.

From Twista’s rapid-fire flows to Chief Keef’s drill classics, from Jeremih’s R&B melodies to King Von’s storytelling, Summertime Chi Vol. 1 is more than a mixtape — it’s a celebration of Chicago’s culture, energy, and diversity. Curated and mixed by DJ Smoke, the project blends hip-hop, R&B, and drill into the perfect soundtrack for late nights, block parties, and rooftop vibes.

“Chicago summers have a vibe you can’t get anywhere else. I wanted this tape to capture the city’s energy — past, present, and future — all on one project.” — DJ Smoke
