Southern Exposure :: KB The Boo Bonic And Tow Down Connect On ‘I Seent It’

KB the Boo Bonic has been getting up in big ways lately.  Her latest album, Goldilox, definitely hit the ground running, and the second single is a solid one.  I Seent It features Tow Down of the Screwed Up Click, and it’s a nice combination of super catchy track laced with perfectly placed rhymes.  The Moon Guys come through on another wonderful video, and yet another solid piece of work is added to a growing catalouge of solid and long lasting output.  Stay hustling, and we’ll stay supporting.

Lasting Impressions :: Indelible Inc.’s Instant Classic ‘Wallaby And Bobbes’ Hits Hard

a1375836008_10

Muggzy Flowz and Dr. Bobby Banner, MPC are both incredibly talented performers in their own right, and could surely fare well as solo artists in their own respect.  However, it’s a beautiful thing when live wires connect, and Indelible Inc. is living proof.  wallaby and bobbes has been a long time in the making, but the wait was well worth it, as the beats all hit incredibly hard, the bars and performances are all top notch, and the addition of Emcee Eats as our humble narrator is an incredibly nice touch.  Grab this one while it’s still ‘pay what you like’, because these cats should be charging top dollar for work of this quality, right now.

Unadulterated Raw :: Ciggy Burns Embraces ‘The Slow Burn’

a2149913233_10

One of the aspects of hip-hop (especially southern hip-hop) that doesn’t seem to get explored nearly as much as it should is the concept album.  It takes a lot to step outside of your comfort zone, I do admit, but it also allows  you a chance to explore realms you may not even know you were capable of thriving within.

Enter Ciggy Burns (bka EVOLVE1981), and his latest magnum-opus, The Slow Burn.  It’s not that EVOLVE didn’t already spit dope raps, but Ciggy Burns allows him the opportunity to be brutally honest with the bars.  A chance to step into those human depths some of us may fear or not understand, and grow the poetry out that much more.  This is hella dope.  Keep it coming!

Alpha Music :: You F. Oh Drops ‘Beginning’ On The Masses

As I have come to realize my position in the way of things as a blogger, different aspects of my daily life start to bring new pleasures.  One cool kickback from the exposure the blog is starting to garner is that discoveries are now often initiated by creators, rather than my searching.  You F. Oh from Austin is one of those prime examples.  My phone made it’s little beep noise, and in the email was a Soundcloud link and a request to check out the music, courtesy of a visit to my site.  Since I was on the road, I threw it on the stereo, and damn was I pleasantly surprised.  Esoteric and thought provoking lyrics over unique/strong production?  That’s what it’s all about.  And for a debut project, Beginning shows nothing but promise and possibilities.  Thank you, You F. Oh, for getting me hip, and believe my eyes and ears are open for whatever comes next.

Lofi Escapism :: Kal Continues His Adventures In Lofi Production

Another one from lofi aficionado kal (also known as Evan Moran in some circles).  As he gets deeper and deeper into this production, a strength and sureness is emerging that emits beyond the low key nature of these songs.  Keep these bad boys coming!

Shared Experiences :: The Digital Wild’s ‘Wait’ Video Captivates

Yet another amazing music video in 2017 from the Austin music scene.  This one is from the trio The Digital Wild, and 2016 was all about growth for them.. as they stride into the new year, Wait shows further maturity in songwriting, production that pulls  you in even further, and a video that could sit among many of the videos getting high level rotation currently, or even in the heyday of music videos.  Bonus props to the homegirl Torrie Blake for popping up in yet another music video.  So many stars on the rise these days.

Real Talk :: The Hot Conversation Brings In Space Camp Death Squad

OVRLD blog stays connected to the Austin music scene in a major way.  One of their many offshoots is the Protextor and JRo of #LeagueDJs driven podcast The Hot Conversation.  And, ‘in a stunning act of nepotism’ (direct quote), this episode features the always entertaining Space Camp Death Squad.  I’m happy to have discovered this podcast, and I’m definitely ready for more.. maybe one day you may even get to hear Chief and TheDoomsdayDevice on it, if I’m lucky..

Inner Visions :: DdotElles Laces ‘Tiny Rick (Kid A)’ Single

DdotElles, as most everyone knows, is a man cut from my own cloth.  Rarely do you meet a cat who comes from not only a similar set of musical influences, but a similar set of film and literary influences as well, and isn’t afraid to show it in the lyrics.  Tiny Rick (Kid A) drops so many non-sequitur references among its two verses that the majority are more than likely to fly over most folks heads.  What they add, however, is an immediate deeper connection for those familiar, and future enjoyment to be released on future listens for those not yet up to speed on the context.  Songs like this are what make hip hop, as well as Austin‘s highly skilled set of MCs, a beautiful thing.

Propaganda Jams :: Clean Plate Club And Batsauce Create ‘Rumors Of War’

I thought that when Batsauce dropped his collection of beats for the Clean Plate Club, that was going to be it.  Then, like an RKO out of nowhere, a video dropped for the 2 part beast Rumors of War.  The video uses one of my favorite methods of music video styling (public domain/newsreel footage), and while it pulls from a 1960’s aesthetic, the visuals and song are still quite relevant.  Powerful stuff, worth your time, your likes and your shares.
