The Vinyl Factory have collaborated with Theaster Gates' Black Madonna Press, Chicago Sinfonietta’s Community and Public Programs and Urban Gateway’ Street Level to present the Gimme Shelter mixtape showcasing Chicago's up and coming musical talent through narrative storytelling in hip-hop and classical music.
