No column today, but to make up for it we’re droppin beats once again at Beauty Bar in Chicago! Come on and get down with Nick Catchdubs! Chi-town RAT residents Flosstradamus will be traveling, but local beatmeisters Capcom and Hiroki will be on the set to help hold it down.
Rappin Ass Thursdays, the column you know and love, comes to life in the Chi this week in the form of a new monthly party of the same name at Beauty Bar. The tunes are provided by Flosstradamus and special guest (and RAT curator) Nick Catchdubs. Come through this Thursday, dougie will be taught!
About time! Like we do every spring, the whole fam went down to Austin a few weeks back for SXSW. Our artists had tons of shows and guest sets to hit, but the pieces de resistance were the two FG events: the Texas Takeover at Republic Live, and the official FG SXSW Showcase at Malverde. Strictly best-of-the-best DJs, MCs, and even some new rock-n-rollers. Party! Whistles!
Check the highlight reel above (stitched together by our edit mistress Lizi Gross) and hit the jump for way more pics and video from our Texas tweekend. WMC up next! Read More
