This is going to be historic! Unfortunately (for most of you) the registration is now closed, so if you have not got a ticket, or confirmation of your registration, please do not come down. There is limited space and it is "sold out."

Kydd- Sounds In My Head 2 Finally Out!

YOU HAVE TO DL THIS RIGHT NOW AND JAM IT BEFORE TONIGHT! Kydd is live at 1100 Warehouse for SXSW peep the realnes I am in a hurry so just do it k thanks!





Kydd - "The Sounds In My Head PT.2"

Featuring Yelawolf, Pac Div, GLC, and Skyzoo, "Sounds In My Head 2" by Kydd is the breakthrough album out of Texas that heads have been waiting on for years. The album, released on the first day of the South By South West Music Festival in Kydd's hometown of Austin, reflects the unique experience of growing up in the live music capital of the world. As a young producer/emcee/songwriter, Kydd's growth from his previous mixtape, a local cult classic that was compared to "a mix between young Kanye and Lupe Fiasco" has resulted in what can only be described as a throwback to the days when hiphop was dusty, kicks were fresh, and ciphers were real. It's a new season. What could be more perfect to start it then hearing Kydd - The Sounds In My Head 2?

Download: "The Sounds In My Head PT.2"

kydd is also performing today(3/13) at the Official XXL Freshman showcase during Sxsw along side Kendrick Lamar, Hospin, Future and The Red Bull Skooled Tour Texas crew.

Help Kickstart the new Bavu Blakes EP!

He not as rich as he looks dogz.


But seriously, Bavu Blakes is back on the self release hustle and he's got a hell of a deal for anyone willing to help him hit that goal.

I've heard the Sanct EP, produced entirely by Reggie Coby and it's an amazing collection of jams. This has to come out, and come out proper, like how Bavu always does.

Click here for more info on how to make this work of high art come into true fruition.

ITS IMPORTANT!

New Video: Riders Against the Storm - #RESUME

I was just thinking recently how I haven't even thought about a resume in like 15 years. What would mine say? "Fool Time Hustler." That's all is need to say, I don't need a resume to represent me either.



Word to J-Bro and Tiger, Riders Against The Storm, one of the greatest movements happening in hip-hop today. Hip-Hop Healers. Not too many on their level. Catch them at SXSW for sure.

Yes this is an ad, but my friends are in it

Check out my boy KYDD and my girls Stephanie and Alie from Austin Knight Vintage in this Jansport ad. Hate that I missed this! Elderly people wear backpacks too. Believe me!



I think I was at Pop Montreal when this happened though. Anyway, this is dope. Fun timez in da AtX/?#$$$$***
