Taking Stands :: ‘The Black Mics Matter’ Compilation Now Available

Posted on August 2, 2016 | Leave a comment

In light of the recent killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castille, the shootings of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, and the all too familiar pattern of these events with no end in sight, Kinetic Global mastermind Tee Double decided to do what he could to bring some awareness to these situations. The result is The Black Mics Matter Project, a compilation of Texas hip hop artists and bands that are sharing their perspective on this message of police brutality and equal rights. The lineup is heavy with talent, the compilation is free to download, and donations are being taken for future projects and events via the GoFundMe page. Do your part for this important time in our existence, because it has repercussions that will be felt for generations to come.

Diplomatic Dopeness :: Tee-Double’s ‘Ambassador Status’ EP

Posted on July 2, 2016 | Leave a comment

Nobody should ever doubt the work that Austin hip-hop legend Tee-Double puts in to represent hip-hop culture in general, and the hometown specifically. A string of albums both on labels and independently released, a marketing group and several outreach groups/conferences have all originated in the brain of Tee-Double… dude has his own day, for Christ-sake. The Ambassador Status EP is both a continuation in his progression and a giant leap forward. Period point-blank, this is a dope project on all fronts. This is collectively some of the best production I’ve heard from Tee, and as always, the lyrics are on point, but there is a unified focus on this entire project that I either have not recognized on prior projects, or was not present. There is literally no reason why you should not support this project.

5-1-2 In It :: New Music From Tee-Double

Posted on October 12, 2012 | Leave a comment

New music from an Austin legend. Tee-Double was one of the cats that made me realize that some of the best hip-hop is made by people living the exact same life as yourself. I may have eventually found my voice as a live hip-hop musician, but I wouldn’t have found it in the 1990s if it wasn’t for Tee-Double. My man is still relevant today, and he’s making major moves at Kinetic Global… it may not hurt to take a peek, maybe even get involved.
