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

Posted on October 10, 2013 | Leave a comment

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.

Cinematic Sunday :: “No Gun In My Hand”

Posted on September 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

from the digital desk of Da’Shade Moonbeam:

“No Gun in my Hand was written a few years back after having a conversation with one of the kids I work with about new school gangsta rappers being 100% real and better than those I considered to be lyricist. The young man had no clue I could rap. I said “I bet I know a Nerd that could keep pace and even out run, write, and recite your favorite rapper.” The kids asked, “who?!” I said “Da’Shade Moonbeam, that’s who!”

They liked it and the bridge was created.”
