Get Lifted :: 5-D Drops ‘On It’ Single

Posted on February 7, 2020 | Leave a comment

5-D (DoubleDeuceDuoDuplicateDeluxe) is my kind of crew. HBZ and RuDi Devino, with the help of Solar Shield on the tracks, stays putting out high quality, lyrically supercharged songs about the finer things in life : burgers, basketball, and such (usually meant to disguise the celebration of vices we all love and partake in). One topic you can always count on the guys to deliver gold from, however, is green. With Shrubbery and High already in the catalog, the crew has dropped another gem with On It, an ode to being prepared to set off (and always down to partake in) a green session. Solar Shield goes off in particular this go-round, keeping the crew’s signature high energy in his production, but reeling back on the BPMs and instead dropping a midrange speed track with tons of flourish and presence, but not so much that it drowns out the rhymes. Definitely high quality work from a high quality crew, so leave a like and a comment, and share it around for everyone!

Fine Dining :: 5-D Drops Another Gem With ‘Burger Cheese’

Posted on November 19, 2019 | Leave a comment

It seems that variety is the wave once again in hip-hop, and luckily, Austin has a diverse selection of MCs and producers to provide us with a large variety of hip-hop locally. Local legends HBZ and RuDi Devino, collectively known as 5-D when they connect with Solar Shield, have been flexing their creative range as of late, and their latest single is a monster. Burger Cheese finds the duo dropping bar after bar about ascension and standing out, and do so by mixing in a metric ton of visual imagery and metaphor over a beat that swings way harder than it has any business doing so, and it all mixes together perfectly. This one is an earworm for sure… you’ll probably run it back a few times on the first listen, and it’ll definitely stick with you for the long run. Check it out, like and leave a comment, and spread the word about 5-D and Burger Cheese for others to enjoy and do the same.

Tenacious Types :: 5-D Drops ‘D-Up’ Single

Posted on August 30, 2019 | Leave a comment

Austin supergroup SubKulture Patriots may not be active these days, but don’t sleep on the individual members of the crew, as many of them continue to put in work. One of the most active members has been RuDi Devino, who along with fellow MC HBZ and producer Solar Shield has formed a formidable crew of their own, 5-D (DoubleDeuceDuoDuplicateDeluxe). Their latest single, D-Up, is a summer jam in every sense of the definition… monster beat (courtesy of the homie Mikulak), infectious energy, high-level and clever bars, and a chorus that you can sing along to that gets you as amped as the chorus originators. In all honesty, I’m hoping the cats drop a video for this one, because there are plenty of Austin beatmakers and MCs I could see making court cameos. This one is a banger for sure, so put it in your rotation, share it around, and encourage others to do the same.

Rapid Fire :: 5-D And Bronze Whale Unveil ‘Shrubbery’

Posted on April 25, 2018 | Leave a comment

SubKulture Patriots clearly left an indelible mark on the Texas hip-hop scene, and the waves of their creation continue to have impact to this day. Case in point is the recent offshoot group known as 5-D (RuDi Devino and HBZ). Together with producer Bronze Whale, the crew is set to make some noise that may cross genre boundaries in a way that is sorely needed right now for the hip-hop culture to continue to thrive. Shrubbery is an uptempo ode to everyone’s favorite downer, laced with a bit of lyrical gymnastics to give it heavy replay value. I’m definitely looking forward to integrating this one into mixes, and you should be getting your like/comment/share on so that 5-D and like-minded groups can thrive.

Big Moves :: CAPYAC Enlists RuDi Devino For ‘Fade Out’

Posted on August 18, 2017 | Leave a comment

Austin-based wordsmith RuDi Devino has been having a good run. After finding success with SubKulture Patriots and Retr0gRaDe, he is continuing to find success as a solo act. Enter CAPYAC, who have enlisted RuDi for a guest verse on the extremely catchy Fade Out. The guest verse got merc’d, and hopefully, this will lead to bigger and better things for all parties involved. Here’s to local artists continuing to make big moves and improving their status.

Realest Estate :: Retr05pect And Friends Go In On ‘The Real Estate Sessions’

Posted on July 13, 2017 | Leave a comment

With so much talent in the Austin hip-hop scene, it’s amazing that we don’t see more producer-led projects featuring the best of their MC affiliates from track to track. Ruler Why comes to mind, and I’m sure I’m forgetting others, but the numbers aren’t as high as they potentially could be. Retr05pect, however, looks as if he’s attempting to skew that data with the release of the rock solid project The Real Estate Sessions, a project rooted in the discovery of a 45″ record collection at an estate sale. The production throughout this project is top notch, as one would expect Retr05pect production to be.. it’s paced well, the skits provide just enough breathing room between song groupings, and the choices for MCs were right on the money. You’ll find some of my favorite people on these tracks : Click-Clack, Muggzy Flowz, Scuare, no1mportant, Rudi DeVino, and Black DaVinci all spit quality bars and concepts. I’m looking forward to keeping this one heavy in my DJ rotations.

Dynamite Duo :: Retr0gRaDe Touch Down

Posted on April 5, 2016 | Leave a comment

Retr0spect kills on the beats. Rudi Devino handles the mic duties. The final result, Retr0gRaDe, is a breath of fresh air coming out of the Austin hip hop scene. The group’s self-titled debut album is DOPE. These two make one hell of a collaboration.. definitely looking forward to seeing them live, hoping they have room for guest bars on a future release.

Finally is their opportunity to showcase the love they’ve shown and been shown… enjoy it, share it, and hope there will be another collaboration album in the future!
