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

a1132206312_10

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.

Austin hip hop living legend Tee Double is definitely a wholly reliable source for the history, current state and hopeful direction of the city’s hip hop scene.  This interview, while not new, is still quite relevant, and the ideas/information imparted to whomever comes across this video are spot on.  Dig it and dig it good, straight from the mouth of The Hometown KidThe Lonestar, the amazing emcee/prodcuer/diplomat Tee Double.

Big Things From The Big State :: QDup Releases The ‘Lone Star EP’

After releasing the Let’s Go EP on Fort Knox Recordings last year, Qdup returns with a funky collection of tunes featuring some amazing vocalists from Austin, Texas.  While Qdup was in Austin DJ’ing at the Art Outside Festival, he linked up with some of Austin’s finest MC’s and the result is the Lone Star EP.  The funk flows deep in both Austin and DC and it shows on this strong release.

Qdup and Fort Knox Five have road tested these tunes to assure their dance floor potency at festivals and clubs.  The Lone Star EP comes locked and loaded to light up the dance floor.

The Golden Moment :: ‘Finally’, By Big Package And EVERYONE

Anom and Brokebread are good dudes.  The music they make collectively as Big Package is dope.  Over the years, they’ve worked with a who’s who of talented Texas hip-hop artists.  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!

Double Up Style :: Tee Double Drops ‘ACROBEATIX’, And Then Some

My man Tee Double stays working.  He’s a diplomat for Austin hip-hop, and probably the only man I know in real life with a day named after him.  He’s leaving his stamp on summer 2014 by dropping ACROBEATIX, as well as an instrumental album companion piece.  Dig…

It’s Been A Long Time… :: ‘Slight Return’ Now Available

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.

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

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.

Keep It Kinetic :: “Rosie’s Boy” By Tee Double

from the digital desk of Tee Double:

“I love making music because I love the art form. I love the way the beats combine with the words to form rhythmic structure. I love how the crowd still reacts to a good punch line or cadence of wordplay. I am a spitter,chopper,lyrical dart thrower, beat sculptor, business man,voice for the voiceless and most of all I am Rosie’s Boy.”

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

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.
