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

Posted on March 14, 2017 | Leave a comment

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.

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

Posted on March 8, 2017 | Leave a comment

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.

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

Posted on March 3, 2017 | Leave a comment

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.

Life Experience :: JMac The Dragon And Crew Experience ‘The Human Elements’

Posted on March 2, 2017 | Leave a comment

San Marcos, just like it’s big brother city Austin, is showing a wealth of creative and talented folks on the verge of making a name for themselves in 2017. JMac the Dragon‘s recent release, The Human Element, was a wonderful exploration of the ups and downs of our daily walk, and the video for the title track is a wonderful piece of art that reflects the sentiments of the album. Featuring a host of guest verses from Aye Cue, Frank Villa and CA the Commoner (who also directed the video), this track and video are instant classics. Dope for real.

Sound Champion :: NickNack Demonstrates How To ‘Watch The Sound’ With Beat Junkies

Posted on March 1, 2017 | Leave a comment

As a high schooler newly discovering Austin‘s long history of live music, I met many heads that I continue to keep in contact with to this day, nearly 20 years later. One of those heads I first met on the scene was NickNack, who in the late 90s was already a well known DJ and a vital part of the hip hop scene.

As the years have gone by, NickNack has done nothing but grow. He’s developed Crowd Control Records, released several albums as both DJ and producer (a role he has also excelled at), and played more gigs than many of us can fathom. Recently, The World Famous Beat Junkies invited him to be a part of their Watch The Sound series, which he of course destroyed with a plethora of his wonderful toys. Dig it, share it, like it, and support local!

Leap Of Faith :: Ignite’s ‘Skydive’ Music Video

Posted on February 27, 2017 | Leave a comment

Ignite is an Austin MC, by way of Louisiana via a California detour. The experiences in his life and the places he’s lived clearly have provided Ignite a unique view of the world, and a unique vision that he brings to his approach. Skydive mixes cinematic snippets of everyday life while sprinkling in tips for successful living on both the bigger plane and the daily walk. Very solid song, and that hook will stay stuck in your head all day. Good stuff.

The Evils :: Smackola Promises ‘A Better Me’

Posted on February 24, 2017 | Leave a comment

The weight of the world can drag even the strongest man down. An inherent part of closeness is trust, and trust is a delicate balance to maintain. On A Better Me, Smackola examines what it takes in order to navigate through a world that seemingly does not care, and his examination results in a simple statement : bettering yourself will aid you in your daily walk. Wise words as always from a true living legend.

Funky Combinations :: ‘French Cuff Sleazy’ Live With The Triggermen And Ben ‘McNasty’ Buck

Posted on February 21, 2017 | Leave a comment

Last fall, The Triggermen released their latest album, Live Wire. To celebrate its release, they threw a dope show at Beerland. I was honored to be a part of it, and that night was my introduction to Ben ‘McNasty’ Buck. His set was incredibly captivating, and then later that night, he took to the stage with The Triggermen for French Cuff Sleazy, and the results were fantastic. The Triggermen were in the midst of capturing footage for their Party Pro video, and this was a pleasant bonus that has now been shared for the masses.
