Champion Sound :: Muff Makes Big Noise

Posted on May 5, 2016 | Leave a comment

One of the great things about the Austin/San Marcos corridor is watching music superfans turn into wonderful bands. Muff is a perfect example of this. I’ve quite often spent time discussing awesome bands with multiple members of the group, and listening to their self-titled debut LP, it’s hard for me to not place them among the company of those groups. Dope songwriting, wonderfully recorded and played, and very well put together. Here’s the video for the first single, East Side Love.

Digital Resurrection :: ‘Return Prophets’ By Heroes Finds The Internet

Posted on May 4, 2016 | Leave a comment

The central Texas area has never been a stranger to massive amounts of talent, and that goes for all creative and expressive cultures. Right smack in-between Austin and San Antonio lies the rapidly growing small town of San Marcos. Back in the 2000s, there was a massive boom of talented rock, folk and hip-hop acts that hit the scene, and one of the premier acts was Heroes. This hip-hop collective of OMNIII, Dusty Grin and Tone of the Cosmos brought some of the most insightful and infectious tunes around.

Return Prophets was a love letter to that creative scene and moment in time. With guest spots by songbird Sarah Lamb, hip-hop underground legend Josh Martinez, and members of The Word Association on multiple tracks, this album was a celebration. Now, we celebrate it finding the digital light of day, forever stored online for future generations.

Catch-23 :: ‘My People’ Audio-Visuals From @Mirage512

Posted on April 28, 2016 | Leave a comment

I’ve known my man Mirage for a long time now.. nearly half my life. He’s one of my original Austin inspirations for transitioning from hip hop fan to hip hop participant. Over the years, we’ve kept in touch and watched one another evolve.

Recently, he hit me up to edit a music video for him, which I am very excited about. Then, yesterday, he dropped this self-directed gem on us. My People is a dope song, and the video is a well-crafted visual reflection of it. Simple, yet strong, with some wonderful framing for some honest performances. Dig it and dig it good.

Collective Collabs :: Multi-Tracker and Out Of Place’s ‘Old News (HIT)’

Posted on April 18, 2016 | Leave a comment

(In)sect Records artist Multi-Tracker recently put out one of the doper electronic albums I’ve heard out of their camp, the genius Code Switching. The homie Butcher Bear recently told me of his plans to have different MCs contribute lyrics to the different tracks (I’m jones’ng to get my voice on one or two of these myself). old news (HIT) is the opening shot off this next step in Code Switching‘s growth, and MC Out Of Place sounds totally at home on this one.. dig it and dig it good.

Spirits Moving :: Tank Washington’s ‘R.I.P. POP’ Video Hits Hard

Posted on April 13, 2016 | Leave a comment

LNS Crew has never been a collective afraid to grow, whether it be style-wise or personally. This time around, we find Tank Washington getting deeply person on his music video for R.I.P. POP, a lament to his deceased father. The song and video honestly speak for themselves. Take a moment and take it all in.
