A Diverse Samplin' of the South in Summer 2007

I realized recently that HoustonSoReal has become a place for me to post the photos I took whilst drunkenly executing and attending events and a place for me to talk about myself and all of my foibles and well I thought to myself, that's not really the goal here Matthew so I said to myself then that I need to do something relevant to this music here for once in my life and well here it is.

A gang of music I got a hold of recently and think that you should hear/have. I'm not gonna keep these links up forever, so get 'em fast. Also if you like what you hear, buy these cats albums. Especially K-Rino's album, Book Number 7. That CD goes hard as fuck. I'm giving you one of my favorite cuts, that features Chalie Boy, but every song on that disc is a banger and K-Rino is a real lyricist. So lets start with him.

And we have been planning this for quite some time, trying to figure out the best way to make it happen, but fuck it, it's time.

It's the HoustonSoReal REEEEEEEEEEMIX CONTEST!

That's right. Below please find a link to the accapella version of the hottest song to hit the net in '07 "WHY YOU ALL ON MY MYSPACE!" By Kenika.

The original version was produced by Young Samm, but originally they did it over an underground beat. Anyway a lot of people have hit me up and said they wanted to do something with Kenika so here is your chance. Producers, take this accapella and run with it, give it your best track and instead of sending it to me, post it on YOUR MySpace page and send me the link. I'll then link the best remixers pages right here on HoustonSoReal and you will get a lot of hits. We also want artists to add their own verses as well.

Send the link to your pages to MYSPACE.COM/HOUSTONSOREAL

Also, if the "winner" of this contest of sorts lives in Houston, Austin, New York, Oslo, Amsterdam, or some place where HoustonSoReal throws events and concerts, you and your artist will be included in the next HoustonSoReal event in your area (or if you wanna come to an event in one of those places on your own dime, I'll put you on and make sure you get hellafied promo).

Winner will also be a feature artist on the next DJ Chill / Kenika Mixtape.

Winner will also be heavily featured on DAMAGE CONTROL.

I mean, we don't have a ton to offer, but we do have resources and we will help you if you help us come up with the ultimate remix.

And if we end up using the song commercially then of course there will be compensation and all the normal publishing splits and what have you. At any rate, just do it, I want to hear what you've got.

So call it what you want. It's a contest of sorts, but its also a way to make me get out there and promote the shit out of your shit. And to take this song to the next level. It's a serious summer jam,
