THIS is a very important post.

Austin, Texas Hip Hop has been getting more interesting lately. A more mature sound has been evolving here in the last decade. A sound I like to call the !35 sound. It’s basically part Soulquarian/part ScrewedUpClick, all Texas, all the time, allready. And now within the space of a week I’ve received 3 links to locally shot Hip Hop vidz that I think capture the area’s vibe. Since I got 3 brand new videos i’m doing an ATX Hip Hop video trio: In this selection of videos we have a quartet who are from here, continue to grow here, spread roots and branches like a great oak here (my boy MIRAGE and his crew the GUUD), we have a soloist who came down from up the road, lived and wrecked it here for a decade and has since moved on- but will surely return a better man and artist (Bavu Blakes) and we have an MC/DJ duo who aren’t from here, they just came to visit, but were so affected by the scene here they had to reciprocate the love and hospitality in their video (LA Melodia). So, here we go…
