Super Slow Mo Screwed And Chopped SoReal Boyinadaze still

Man. I'm still screwed and chopped off that SXSW. Still haven't finished my little write up that soon enough will be irrelevant. Just realized I never posted these links. Here's a few interesting bits of SXSW coverage to chew on.

Interview with me by Sara Cress for the Houston Chronicle Blog. THANKS SARA!

Story about Money Waters in the Dallas Morning News. Wouldn't it be nice if the Houston papers came out and covered Houston rap too? Dallas really put it down at SXSW this year.

Tony Chapman and my man Chuck put it down photo wise! I got some of Chuck's photos coming up on HoustonSoReal soon.

More From Dallas.

Mo' Dallas.

My man Andy MacTavish and his SXSW Fader House Photos

These photos here were taken by my man Andy MacTavish. He's been back in Scotland for a while or some shit and all of a sudden popped up in Austin on the Saturday of SXSW. We got it going at the Fader Party. Here's what he came out with. Email him andy_mactavish@hushmail.com.
