VIDEO: A reunion and a recap...

I struggle to find the eloquent words to thoughtfully express how I feel about what took place Saturday February 18th, at Flamingo Cantina in Austin, Texas.  There was a cold bite in the air, the streets finally starting to clear up from two days of storms, and the cops were on horses to prepare for Austins possible Mardi Gras madness.  Ironically, all the real energy that should have been out on the streets was inside of Flamingo Cantina.  Ok, whatever that was, forget that foolishness.  It was a fun night, thanks to the people who did come and to the people who didn't come, welp______.  For those that couldn't be there here are a few recaps done by the homie Gargameljermel of Hotbox254.  Check em out.

Check after the jump for more videos from the event.

VIDEO: Wifey (ft. Mrs. Blakes)

"Wifey" is a beautiful instrumental dedicated to the beautiful wife of Bavu Blakes.  Now it has a beautiful video to go along with it, that's really all that needs to be said.  Check BavuBlogs for the back story.

AUDIO: Organized Rebels - Men Of a Certain Age

Today is the official release date of the new E.P. from the duo CientifiQ and Virt aka Organized Rebels.  This duo is as true to that classic hip-hop sound as you can find here in Central Texas.  The combination of rugged boom bap production by CientifiQ and smooth lyrical delivery by Virt is a perfect way to celebrate Feb. 7th aka the birth date of Dilla.  

Taken from Cientifiq's blog:

All in all I think we delivered a quality project and I hope everyone who takes a listen agrees. This will not be the last you hear of Organized Rebels as we are set to create another project to end the year off. 

Even though they're quite capable of holding it down on their own, they enlist the assistance of Hip-Hop pioneer MC Craig G to bless the mic.  This is a great listen, and just the scratch of the surface from two guys determined to bring you good music.  You can purchase the album now at www.Slaprapz.com for as little as 1 buck.  Check it out below.

VIDEO: 54 Reality Show 2012 Ep. #2

The 54 Reality Show is so official, and I'm glad you could be here to witness it.  What randomly started as a very hastily thrown together weekly video blog in 2008, is now an extensive local entertainment outlet that has been a continual documentary of the Central Texas hip-hop scene.

Hyperbole aside, this weeks episode is packed to the brim.  Check it out and leave your comments/thoughts below.
