Mike and Ike at The Parish, August 1, Opening for Devin The Dude

Mike and Ike at The Parish, August 1, Opening for Devin The Dude

Austin 360’s “A-list” has published some pictures from last Friday’s Devin the dude show. The set includes some pictures from Mike and Ike’s set as well as from some of the other artists. Go over to the A-List website and check them out. If anyone else has any other pictures, feel free to link them up in the comments section. Peace

Texas hip-hop icon, Devin The Dude, will be bringing his eccentric brand of hip-hop to the 512 on August 1. Outside of his longtime Rap-a-lot partnerships Devin has also worked with everyone from De La Soul to Dr. Dre and is definitely one in a million in terms of showmanship and dedication to his craft. Opening will be Austin natives Gerald G, Southbound and BigBadMedium.com comrades, Mike and Ike. Also opening will be Fat Tony, Giovanni, COD and Kriminals. Quite a varied display of Texas hip-hop, which should go over well with Devin’s varied fan base.

Hero & Rad ft. Mike & Ike - Smoothness, Coolness

Nice smoothed out track for your weekend. Originally posted on the HoustonHipHop.com forums, had a slow day today so decided to make a little something for this track. Mike tells me that Hero & Rad have a coming out soon, maybe they have a bit more information for us, either way the track is good. I don’t have much more information on these Hero and Rad guys, outside of the fact that they’ve recorded some songs with Mike and Ike and that they’re from Houston. Either way, good to see Houston and Austin artist working on something new, going to have to wait to see what else comes of these collaborations.

Mike and Ike - Sunglasses

Mike and Ike - Sunglasses (Chop Steak Remix)

It’s been just a little bit less than two years since Austin based group, Mike & Ike dropped their first album, Introducing. Released independently, the album got them more attention than I think even they expected. The video for their single “Classic Sound” shortly followed and suddenly people outside of the Lone Star State started hearing the real diversity in Texas hip-hop’s sound. Mike & Ike are dropping their new mixtape “Milk and Donuts” this Friday in Houston at The Mink Backroom ( ), but for now check out this Medium exclusive, which includes the original “Sunglasses” off the mixtape and also the Chop Steak Remix. And if you can’t make it up to H-town for Mission Control, check out Mike & Ike in San Marcos with The Word Association ( )
