AUSTIN TEXAS It's about to go down!
July 19th!
Right after you go see Lil Boosie and Paul Wall at the Heatwave Car Show, come down to Whiskey Bar and get a taste of where the New Orleans and Houston scene's really started!
GETO BOYS LIVE IN HOUSTON TONIGHT! FREE MP3!!!! Willie D featuring Scarface & LIl Wayne - Dem Boys
It's the truth y'all, the four core/current members of the Geto Boys - Willie D, Scarface, Bushwick Bill & Domo - will all be on stage tonight in Houston at Warehouse Live. To see them in such a dope spot, with great sound and lights and all that shit, should be a real treat. Back in the day I thought they were one of the livest groups in hip-hop, lets see if they can still hold up to that claim.
Since they don't really hang out these days, I doubt you'll see the routines we saw back in 1989, I pretty much just expect some raw energy and realness. Nothing less though.
(Peep some of the first posts on HoustonSoReal for interviews with all the members, and a review of the last time they hit the stage together, in early 2005 I think.)
Anyway Jeff from Warehouse Live says tickets are selling briskly in advance, so I suggest you go and get yours online NOW. www.warehouselive.com
And as a bonus, to get you hyped up for tonight, here's a lil gem I dug up in the garage yesterday.
Yeah, Lil Wayne, he been listening to the Geto Boys since he was like 10.
Uh, huh, he says it, Lil Wayne does, on the song.

Sorry, just trying to get some traffic on this bitch. Did I mention Lil Wayne made a video?
Also, Jay Z's rendition of Wonderwall is stuck in my head so hard. What a beautiful moment in rock and roll history.
I'm serious.
Also, Amy Winehouse and Vampire Weekend.
Also Shawty Lo.
And of course, Lil Wayne. Aka Weezy. Aka LIL WAYNE.
Well not much more. Basically this past weekend my man Mr. Cree got married so my boy Scavone and his wife Astra came to visit, and well, I just haven't found time to blog in a good week. Which isn't doing you, me, or anybody else any good. So I'ma get to it.
Last week IT WENT DOWN! The Red Bull Big Tune Producers Battle returned to Houston and it was like last year only even better. The night was just straight up magical man. Everyone brought their A Game and in the end, Houston's Sound Mob reigned supreme. I'm still pulling hard for Picnictyme, cuz the boy on another planet and shit, but man, Sound Mob is REAL!
Anyway, the night before the battle, everyone got together at the Cotton Exchange, my man KB's place for drinks and appetizers and to take photos and get the run down of how the event was about to go down.
Picnictyme and S-1 came down to represent for Dallas and pretty much killed it. I think sound issues affected S-1's early showing. And well, I think Picnic was affected by not being on the home (Houston) team. He had the crowd FLIPPING OUT, but in the end, only maybe 20 people in the crowd of 900 really knew who he was. So odds were stacked against him. But whatever, not for nothing, every producer on that stage is making moves. I'm proud of my people in my state!
The ARE won last year. You probably know him best from his work with the K-Otix. Seen here with Cozmos, who also did beats for K-Otix, and was also maybe a little affected by early sound issues. Dude is a beast on them beats.
The Are with organizers J. Moore and Jake One. Super dudes who I have to give big thanks to for creating this event AND bringing it to Houston two years in a row.
T-Gray held it down on the tables during the pre-event.
The ladies of Red Bull. MY PEOPLE!
T-Gray was DJing outside the event on the huge Red Bull TANK of sorts, seen here greating Baby Jae of the Krackernuttz.

WORD TO CHRIS AND ANNABELL EDWARDS! Finally tied the know. I have known Chris, aka Crop Diggy aka Mr. Cree since Andre Walker introduced us in 1991. He was in a group called Sociopath Left, and early Austin institution. Wild, underground, avant garde, weird, boom bap hip hop from early 90's Texas! We ended up living together in Brooklyn for most of 1994, where we met Scavone...
Seen between us in this pic right here. Was nice to all reunite.
Anyway, it's official; now. Check out some of the videos from the BIG TUNE big night, and if anyone has video of Willie D's set I NEEEEEEEEED IT!
