When you have Dr. Dre co-signing you, there's a good chance that you have the potential to pop. But you still have to put in the work. BJ The Chicago Kid has the big up from the big homie Dre, he's been putting in work for a few years and now it's time to kick it up a notch. The crooner recently dropped his video for the recently released single "Resume" featuring Big K.R.I.T. off his forthcoming LP In My Mind.

In the clip, the Windy City singer posts up solo in a dimly lit club and sings his heart out into an old school microphone. And he has an admirer. A slim Latina is scoping his moves the whole time through a hole in the wall in some sort of weird peep show.

Over the summer XXL chopped it up with BJ and got the scoop on his forthcoming album which he said was already completed. "It’s a pretty incredible project. I can only say so much until you hear it without overselling it, but if you love what I do, you would love this project," he said. "It’s pretty much giving you a taste of my mind, from concepts to sounds to genres. It allows you to understand how creative I actually am to some degree."

In My Mind is scheduled for a 2016 release.
