We have local soul artist Yaw. He's talking about the Chicago music scene, and his place in it. We listen to some of his new music. Check out his Myspace. Yaw will be performing at Room 21 in the near south side August 13th at 6pm. If you want to learn more about the artists we name checked today, or soul music in general, check out the All Music Guide to Soul. 

Plus, kids from the Vocalo.org radio class at Batey Urbano in Humboldt Park. They will premier some new pieces they've been working on this summer.

For more information on the Southwest Youth Collaborative, check out their site, and their profile on Vocalo.org.

And the conclusion of the Midday Mid-week top ten countdown! This week it's from DJdownload.com's Drum and Bass chart.
