Just Another Day :: More Collabs From Notes Floats and FluidOneStudios

I must admit, I was extremely happy to see this video come down the pipeline.  Notes Floats and FluidOneStudios have been putting together some good work lately.  The latest video, All Day, features some good friends, and some good shots of Austin.  A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

The Lonestar Shines Forever :: Tee Double Drops “Engineering An Empire”

My man Tee Double never stops working.  This cat has more albums than Grateful Dead… Sonic Youth… Miles Davis… and so on.  The latest one may just go down as an offical Austin classic.  The hometown kids will know what I’m talking about, because this album is like a parallel reality between today’s growth and the unity of the Austin hip-hop community during the mid-1990’s.

The beats bang throughout, the production is unique while still being accessible, and Tee brings the lyrical heat as always.  Job well done.
