Ok here’s my final clip from GG’s SXSW adventures. Hey, what do you want I’m bias?! And I really dig this joint off the upcoming Str8 Killa No Filla. I need that shit to drop ASAP.

Before Freddie and Donnis touched the Mohawk stage, another XXL Freshmen did his one-two thing for the enthusiastic heads. Another one I didn’t know much about until that night. Nice job by the young fella from Fresno.
While in Austin, I ran across this article on All Hip Hop that cited Mike Bigga as a force in bringing the two Texas parties together. So you know I had to ask the homie about it while we were down there. Hey, Killer, where’s the interview you did with me?
I honestly have never really listened to dude’s stuff but this performance at the Respect The West party won me over. Guess I’m a sucker for an MJ sample. On the flip, Mr. Carter gives DJ Quik a helluva introduction. Respect your elders, kids.
It’s clear that Gibbs and Pill are brothers in struggle, but Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar are tight like Crockett and Tubbs too. During Rock’s Respect The West set, KL got to rock his raunchy tune to the rowdy crowd. Sounded hella good to me.
No Styles but Monch rocked one of my favorite joints from his catalogue at the Duck Down anniversay bash. Check out the vocal assistance here from my man Bezo’s artist, MeLa. Dreamz R Real, niggas.
It wasn’t all 90s during Ball and G’s show at the Barbarella. Here’s two selections off their two Bad Boy releases, 2004’s Living Legends and ’07’s Riding High. Puff, what up? Previously: “Comin’ Out Hard” x “Armed Robbery”
Puttin’ the Stimulus Package material on hold for a sec, Philly Freeze breezes through two of his more feisty lyrical exercises. The boy’s bars is up!
Witness the bizarre but hilarious ending to the big reunion show. Is Koopa so sincere? You be the judge. Sidebar: I forgot about Mike Jones. Who? Mike Jones.
Very few of you rap fans were priviliged enough to witness the entire Noisemakers event in Austin. But of course I did. I document culture. I don’t know what they do? Anyways, here’s the other Rosenberg in my life’s introduction for the Texas legend. Somebody hit dude on Twitter and see if I can let this whole thing go already. Ha!
Tech N9ne has always had a unique approach to hip hop, and this album seems to show why he has remained such a recognizable name for so long. I like that the article highlights both his perseverance and the variety of collaborations featured across ASIN9NE. Seventeen tracks also gives listeners plenty of material to discover instead of relying on just one standout song. Music careers can be especially interesting when you consider how much an artist can accomplish over many years. A chronological age calculator can be a simple way to understand someone's age at different points in their personal or professional timeline, which adds an interesting perspective when looking at long careers.
