The big homie Dj Manny was on News 8 Austin today looking like Richie Tenenbaum …working out and dj’ing at Pure Austin off of only two hours of sleep.  The story is pretty interesting…but the video really makes it great.

Crew54 - Keep on Moving (Checho Remix)

Despite becoming an Austin, Texas staple in the past few years, good online presence and great music, Crew54 somehow manages to still get slept on. Their last release was aptly titled “Aggressive Soul” and if you’ve ever been to a Crew54 show, there’s probably no better way to describe it. Crew54 is opening for Prince Paul tonight at The Mohawk, go check them out.

Soul 2020 producer Checho is probably one of hip hop’s best kept secrets. A few years back Checho produced most of the tracks for up and coming rapper’s first album, that rapper is Zeale32. After being away from the boards and under the radar for a bit, Checho contributed some remixes to the Rapid Ric mixed Southern Soul and is now preparing to release some new tracks and projects through Soul 2020. Ike (of Mike and Ike) has called Checho one of his favorite producers, so I’m sure whatever those two work on together is gonna be some high quality music.

I wish I could have thought of that idea first and I also wish I was a rapper. I also wish I was a baller and a bit taller. If you’re a rapper that enters into this contest, I would love to hear your verse, I’ll even post them up. You can also buy my “On My Grizzly Shirt” from my online store at cafepress.com . Happy April Fools to everyone.
