‘Bout To Get Real Raw :: Spit Gemz Says ‘END THE TV’

Posted on November 14, 2013 | Leave a comment

OT23 and Ruler Why introduced me to a rhyme animal straight out of NYC. There aren’t many cats out there like Spit Gemz… this dude has bars upon bars upon bars upon bars. Kid is nice with the mic. There’s been hype building for END THE TV for a while now, and the product delivers all of that and then some. Dig.

Up To No Good :: New Visuals From MattyDee

Posted on November 14, 2013 | Leave a comment

Recently, I played a monthly show in San Marcos, TX known as Boom Baps and Daps. There’s always a nice selection of central TX talent that push the boundaries of the format. I had the pleasure to check out and DJ for Matty Dee that month, and dude has mad charisma. He’s laid back though, so it doesn’t come off forced, but the nonchalance and hypno-flow mix well. Dig the new video he just dropped.

Let’s Get On A Plane! :: Moodie Black Live From France

Posted on November 14, 2013 | Leave a comment

The homies Moodie Black just hit stateside again after doing a French tour. Having toured France myself, I know firsthand how it feels to be in a complete foreign land and see love that crosses any boundaries of communication shown from a sea of strangers. Here’s a taste of what the guys were doing, live band style.

Putting That Work In :: “Looseys” By EVOLVE

Posted on October 31, 2013 | Leave a comment

While on tour with Moodie Black recently, I met a lot of good artists. EVOLVE was one of those folks I had the pleasure of meeting, and watching him work has been downright inspiring. Dude is constantly working on his art and his music. Looseys, his latest project, just dropped. Cop that, share that, and support local realness.

Not Forgotten :: ESBE Mural Time Lapse

Posted on October 31, 2013 | Leave a comment

Even when folks are gone, it’s good to take a moment and do things in honor of them. Grind Life Films was on hand to catch DJ Aspekt of SubKulture Patriots as he put up a mural for ESBE at Castle Hill. Dig…
