Here’s another discovered via P-Tek‘s Facebook thread. This time around, it’s Austin mainstay Curbside Jones, but it’s a new approach for him. Rather than bringing beats and rhymes, Boom Bapparitions focuses completely on the beats. Very solid listen, and worth throwing a few bucks at for sure.

Protextor / P-Tek recently put out a call to action for all ATX emcees to link projects they have released this year, so I’ve taken it as an opportunity to get myself hip, as well as get you hip to what’s what. First up is Scan Reason, an Indiana born ATX transplant. His album cover stood out amongst the rest, and the music is incredibly unique. Check it out yourself, and show him some love and support!

Protextor / P-Tek of Austin Mic Exchange and Miss Manners of Hip Hop Hooray have a message for you. I say support that message.

Protextor has been a busy man the last few months. His crew, Space Camp Death Squad, just dropped an album. Weird City Hip Hop Festival isn’t too far away, and Protextor is a key element to it. Austin Mic Exchange, his gift to all Austin based up and comers, is only picking up steam as a Tuesday residency at Spiderhouse Ballroom. Despite all these spinning plates, he’s busy bringing us one more spinning plate.. a new solo album. The first taste we’re getting of this project is the Egon produced tribute single Austin. It’s an homage to the place Protextor now proudly calls home, and a tribute in general to the artists who keep it moving simply because they are driven to create.
We should all be excited about what’s to come..

Protextor (P-Tek) of Austin is not only a creative hip-hop artist, he is a creative filmmaker as well. Back in 2010, he created an instillation piece meant to be played as a loop for Toy Joy‘s Art Show. The piece was titled Cycle One, and it was a very creative experiment with non-traditional storytelling…
Later that year, on a rainy day, P-Tek decided to make a music video for his crew The Department of Public Safety‘s latest release, Look Up Motherfucker!! You may recognize an image or two from this expressionistic journey…

SPACE CAMP DEATH SQUAD, The Lower Class, Scuare, Secret Levels, Mainstreem and Protextor/P-Tek got down recently with the intent of leaving the Austin Mic Exchange imprint on the currently overwhelming practice of cypher videos. The good thing about this take, however, is that it’s full of talented cats who all swung for the fences on this one. You can catch many of these artist at Austin Mic Exchange, every Tuesday Night at Spiderhouse Cafe (Austin).
Enjoy!

First and foremost, I apologize for the gap in posting time… thankfully, it was not for negative reasons. Things have been fruitful both on the creative and performance side. Merchandise is in print once again, and gear issues are in the process of being resolved. Things are rolling in the correct direction.
I am also happy to officially release the announce of my latest solo album, Slight Return. I am very happy with the results of this album… it features appearances from Brother Wolf, Notes Floats, Tee Double, Protextor (P-Tek) and Oldschool Poindexter, and plenty of production/cuts/DoomsdayDevice’ng from yours truly. Download it, share it, and donate to the cause if you feel so inclined. Thank you in advance.

This news story is pertinent to both up-and-coming artists as well as those who are a bit more established. Morgan Davis and Protextor are just a small portion of the many wonderful people in the Austin music scene that help us all better ourselves.
