About Last Night: Jambalaya – Bayou Music Center [@bigboi @earlxsweat @fucktyler @wescoremore]
Music festivals always tend to offer up a weird selection of people and fans. You get moms who post up at merchandise tables bewildered and obviously drained, teenage kids who roll Molly and try to keep up with pulsating EDM beats and then you have the straight laced guys like us who sit back and [...]
About Last Night: Jack Freeman & Bianca Rodriguez – Jet Lounge [@_jackfreeman @bemyfiasco]
There’s some supposed mythical story about Jack Freeman being some being who woos women at night, rarely ever sleeps and lifts weights like a mad man to become the first R&B singer you know you wouldn’t literally test off stage. It hasn’t reached Paul Bunyan esque levels of goofy fable yet but to his credit, [...]
About Friday Night: Curren$y – Warehouse Live (4/19) [@currensy_spitta] [@MOUSA504] [@365liveent]
A brief rundown of Friday night’s smoke-tivites at Warehouse Live. On the eve of one of the most highly celebrated (pun intended) holidays of 420 the “Jet Life” chief officer Curren$y and friends rolled into town courtesy of grassroots concert promotion company, 365 Live Entertainment. The sold out venue at Warehouse Live was filled with [...]
About Friday Night: The Outfit, TX & Friends – Warehouse Live (3/22)
“Today’s been a very big day for us,” Mel of The Outfit opened up. He here was, shirtless, doing his best 2Pac meets South Dallas impersonation as he was caked in sweat thanks to he and his group mates highly engaging set. He paused before sauntering left and right, “First we made 2DopeBoyz … then [...]
About Last Night: RiFF RaFF – Fitzgerald’s (3/21)
I have an appreciation for being absolutely curious about music phenomenas. A lot of it can be attributed to Tumblr, Twitter and the casual conversations I have with friends and others just roll around in the same ball of being somebody who obviously thinks way too damn much about simple things. RiFF RaFF should be [...]
Live Shots: Toro Y Moi – Fitzgeralds (2/4)
Chaz Bundwick knows how to play a party. With three extravagant LED boards behind him (somewhat reminiscent of The-Dream’s show at Fitz last March), the South Carolina musician and pop impressario thrilled a large throng of people who packed Fitzgeralds on Monday night. “Say That” from his recent Anything In Return album sent the crowd [...]
Live Review: Yung Nation – Warehouse Live (2/1)
Dallas & Houston aren’t at odds with one another musically. Not the youth movement that currently influxes both cities at the moment. Houston has their artists, those who seemingly climb atop one another for performance slots and fight to reach a certain precipice, same for Dallas. Houston has its club risers such as Mr. Wired [...]
Live Review: Stalley – Fitzgerald’s (1/17)
Much has been made about Stalley’s career arc in the past 12 months. At the close of 2011 he still held on to Lincoln Way Nights, one of the year’s best mixtapes thanks to its varied personalities production wise and Stalley’s anecdotal calm over everything. Then Rick Ross snatched him up for an MMG spot, [...]
Live Review: Kendrick Lamar – House Of Blues (12/29)
Photo Cred: Grant Tucker of SCKNOWS The amended version of this article originally appeared in the Houston Press. There have been many monumental moments in House Of Blues rap history. There was Jay-Z’s show in 2008 that christened the venue and kickstarted its now four year run as one of Houston’s eminent music halls and [...]
Live Review: Hoodstar Chantz – Warehouse Live (12/20)
Part hood lyricist, part turn up master; don’t sleep on Hoodstar Chantz. With many artists in the city breaking out from the pack this year, Chantz has quietly grinded, and is poised to make 2013 his breakthrough year as well. Last Thursday he made his case for this at Warehouse Live by using his 25th [...]
