Big Week for Rappers Who's Names Start with "B!"
First AustinSurreal Party in NYC THIS MONDAY!
With DJ Ready Red & Prince Johnny C!

That's right, DJ Ready Red and Prince Johnny C of the original Ghetto Boys!!!!

More in a minute.

Firstly BIG CONGRATULATIONS To BUN B! 2 Trill debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Hip Hop or Urban or R&B Charts or whatever that is. Big Up's to the man. Only reason he was #2 is cuz 3 Doors Down had Walmart on Lock. FUCK WALMART THEY ARE NOT A RECORD STORE! Walmart is a tool for Satan. So fuck 'em. Bun B is #1.

He out sold them boys in Best Buy and Transworld and all that so fuck 'em in they pussy as Bun might say (though I know for a fact he wouldn't say it about them).

Also BAVU BLAKES IS FEATURED ON XXLMAG.COM! CLICK HERE TO PEEP IT OUT! Boy needs a real deal. It's time for some real representation. Anyway, I digress...

ALSO! This Monday night, we return to Screw York City and reunite with our sister Roxy Cottontail for the first AustinSurreal/Oxy Cottontail EVENT!

I've been trying to get Ready Red to come out for a party for a while now, but he was living in the Bay Area. Now he's back in Jersey with his long time partner Prince Johnny C and they are working on some NEW MUSIC! Be the first to hear said new music on Monday Night and also groove to the sounds of DJ Rapid Ric, the homey Kunal M and DJ Readycee FROM HOUSTON! That's right, the man who now (and has for some time now) lives in the Bronx and does the hottest underground hip hop radio show in NYC is comin' down and comin' thru to rock for you on Monday. I used to have Readycee DJ at my spot the Hip Hop Coffee Shop. This was in 1991. Come down and check my man out.

Anyway it's going down at SWAY 305 Spring St. and I want to see you there. It's been a long time y'all.

Also here's these for reference...

Also the homies at ALLHIPHOP.COM did a wonderful piece on DJ Ready Red last week. PEEP IT OUT HERE! Hope to see all my AHH folks in NYC next week as well!

Today Is The Day!
BUN B DAY!
Go Get 2 Trill RIGHT NOW!

(cuz it could possibly be our only hope...)

MAYNE HOLD UP! Today is the day!

BUN B'S 2 TRILL IN STORES NOW!

I generally say support the independent retailer, and still say that and will always say that, but um, if you didn't know, Target has it for $9.98 today and I am pretty sure that the Target edition comes with a DVD that you can't get anywhere else. So I'ma go get me the disc there this morning, and possibly some slacks FOR THE EVENT TONIGHT!

HOUSTON ITS GOIN' DOWN!

Bar Rio - 6400 Richmond Ave. - BUN B'S TRILLIONAIRE RELEASE PARTY!

HOSTED BY LIL WAYNE!

Then tomorrow night WEDNESDAY MAY 21ST IN AUSTIN!!!!

BUN B LIVE AT EMO'S!

I gotta get on the road, go get that album and leave a comment here telling me what you think. I think it's the first rap album I have listened to more than 10 times in the past 3 years (yeah, yeah, yeah, I did what you did too. But I'ma buy it. For real. I'm 'bout to right now. Don't judge.)

BUN B LIVE IN AUSTIN WEDNESDAY
2 Trill in Stores Tuesday
The AMPS Remix of "That's Gangsta!"
I'll Post Houston Release Party Flyer Later

Well the time hath come. It's here, it's leaked, though I'd recommend not downloading it and waiting for the full retail version, and it's about to take over the rap game.

Bun B's 2 TRILL!

I already told you "Get Cha Issue" is the best track. :If It Was Up To Me" is a close second, with "Keep It 100" rounding off the holy triumverate of jams. Pick it up Tuesday then AUSTIN come out Wednesday to meet the man at Music Mania, and see him live in concert at EMO'S!

Bun B at Emo's? YES EMO'S. On the main stage. 1,000 capacity. If you missed him at SXSW, you should not have this problem this time.

Ande check this out, my first jam with big name, national features:

DOWNLOAD "MATTSOREAL FEATURING BUN B, DJ KHALED AND RAPID RIC - REAL TALK PLAYAZ AND BALLAZ IN THE ATX JAM" NOW!

But seriously folks, THIS is what you need. An exclusive Remix of "That's Gangsta" by The Amps, to keep you jammin' till Tuesday. These boys are really on another level.

DOWNLOAD THE AMPS REMIX OF "THAT'S GANGSTA" HERE!

ARABIC RAP IS THE NEW JUMP OFF!

MAYNE IT WENT DOWN! We also just moved into our Austin house, and are in the process of moving in and such, so I can't write now. Must sort things and sit in my new garage and wonder why I have so many cdrs with one rap song on them and somehow they followed me, they wouldn't just stay behind, or leave, or throw themselves out, no they ended up in boxes in my garage, along with every magazine I have read in the past ten years, also not sure why they made it. Also records. And VHS tapes. And such.

So yeah, full review forthcoming but suffice it to say, ARABIC RAP IS THE NEW JUMP OFF! At least the way Dam and Mohammad Al Farra do it. Word to them.

You don't understand the realness of the situation at hand.

Dred Skott are very important. Austin, get ready for the revolution.

Like I said, I PROMISE to write more.

Southbound is also the TRUTH! Very important to the Austin landscape and such.

Mohammad Al Farra live in Austin!

Joined on stage by Tamer of DAM to do a song about "Smoking Hookah." Which I am all in favor of.

These boys WRECK!

Flows for days. You don't have to understand it, but you gotta respect it.

DJ RHYME!

Melissa and Richard Henry

D and James Dean

DRED SKOTT!

Rapid Ric wreckin'...

Richard Henry Drinking

Southbound and Dred Skott are the future.

On to Houston

Savvi of HISD hath crafted something wonderful in this HISD thang thang.

Equality is one of the best MC's in Houston. And I don't even know if he'd call himself an MC. He's the poet laureate of the whole region. Keep your eyes and ears opened and such. Mind too. All that.

BOY WRECKIN'!

I should have taken more pics of the ladies in the place at both events. But I was working and such. But Dam attracts an attractive crowd. There is no doubt about that shit right thurr real talk know'm sayin'.
