Fearless Type :: Clemits’ Brings ‘Strange’ To Life

Posted on November 17, 2015 | Leave a comment

Clemits, a long time member of the Austin hip hop community, has always been known for putting in consistent and quality work. 2015 has found him making inroads musically and on the live circuit. All the while, Clemits has also kept the creative juices going, and is now set to drop Crush in mid-December. Strange is the initial visual shot fired from this album, and the video is dope. But don’t take my word for it.. take a second to check it out yourself, and don’t forget to like/share this bad boy.

All That She Knows :: ‘The Bleeder’ By Jonas Wilson

Posted on November 6, 2015 | Leave a comment

Every knows that I’m a fan of the textured sounds, and many of the people I’m cool with are the same way. It’s through these circles that I met Jonas Wilson many years ago. An immaculate songwriter, with a production patience and sense of exploration that matches his songwriting skill, it’s always a pleasure to hear what Jonas chooses to bless us with. His latest mass undertaking will be an album created throughout the course of 2016, with the first track being The Bleeder. Dig this track, and stay tuned for the complete magnum opus, dropping this time next year!

KB the Boo Bonic… an old friend, a like minded comrade, and a talented artist in her own right. It’s been awesome watching her go from rap fan, to participant, to standout status. BAT SH!T is the video for her upcoming mixtape of the same title, which should drop sometime before we wrap up 2015. Keep your eyes and your ears open for this ATX representer to make some noise soon…

Songs About Change :: Norman Ba$e and DDotElles Explore ‘Babylon 2’

Posted on October 16, 2015 | Leave a comment

#BlackLivesMatter. We all know that, regardless of the rhetoric that is tossed around out there in today’s world of information overload. Still, it’s important that each of us, as individuals, come to a personal understanding of this supposedly simple concept. If not, things will never change on a grand scale. But you don’t have to take my word on that… let Norman Ba$e and DDotElles break it down for you so that it may forever remain broken.

Forever Changes :: Lench Asks ‘What Happened To Austin? (My Beautiful City)’

Posted on October 14, 2015 | Leave a comment

One of my favorite spaces to comb for content is the I Support ATX Hip Hop, Do You? group on Facebook. It’s a nice way for me to step out of my circle of friends/peers, and a chance to get out of my sonic comfort zone. On occasion, you come across a diamond in the rough, and today was one of those days. Enter the track What Happened To Austin? (My Beautiful City) from Lench of Brown South Entertainment. This song is one of the most poignant and eloquent takes on the gentrification of Austin that began in the late 1990s, picked up steam in the mid-2000s, and is still rampant to this day. This song is like the musical equivalent of the film Slacker… it’s definitely a true trip down memory lane for us born and raised in the ATX.
