Sept 17th-Houston, TX.

The Houston Underground came through for an all proceeds benefit to make money for the victims and families affected by Hurricane Katrina (that bitch). This evening proved to be not only a positive stride to help others more in need, but also acted as proof of what the Houston underground can accomplish within a small amount of planning and enough talent of all aspects to go around.

Mofoz Visualz was more than happy to be a part of this cause, and our hats go off to the main promoters of this event DJ Remix and Werd of Regurge/BK Crew. These guys assembled and executed a night that showcased over 20 DJ's, 15+ performers, sponsors, artists, and magazines to all help out in promoting and enjoying an unforgettable night of music. This is truly what real hip hop is all about; coming together as a community for progressive change and showcasing some of the city's top acts while doing it.

Mofoz Visualz donated a painting, some shirts, and some custom designed kicks courtesy of Adio footwear. Other prizes included diamond earings/jewelry from our man DJ Killa Kut, artwork on kicks from Article, Bryer, and other artists, apparel by BBC, and so many other prizes I can't remember or list right now.

Artwork was provided throughout the three rooms of music, and the outside walls by the Brass Knuckles crew which was nothing short of amazing. Word had it that it took the last two weeks of paint and heart to finish in time for the night.

The music was exceptional-everyone that took stage, which was more than just a lil bit, had intense focus and emotion. SWAT and V-Zilla (click here to see Zilla's Headbanger Boogie Monster Video filmed by Fly Guy Productions, nice shirt, by the way), who were promoting the new SWAT Family Mixtape, had the night so krunk that the speakers actually gave up on them...after a lil sound check and cooling of the equipment, the show began and they picked up where they left off.

Other performance that gained my attention were Savvi who fired off some bangers from his promising debut album Hueston Chronicles, Lower Life Form, who had some new music to bounce to, Hafaza, Southern Intellect, Slogun, Ish, maaaan the list goes on and on. This show aside from it being hotter than hell's kitchen was one of the most enjoyable shows we've hit up this past year.

The Mofoz Visualz crew would like to thank everyone that came together for this benefit. All the heads that showed up. All the promoters getting the word out, all the artists and writers donating their time and effort,B Boy Fraud, Qenetic Storm, Fly Guy Productions, Killa Kut, our boy Lucas who road tripped with us, the Brass Knuckles crew, Kris at Kinetic, Comp, BBC,Shorty at Houston Hip Hop.com-Pimpin' Ken for letting us crash at the pad, Lower Life Form and Adio Skate Shoes for hookin us up with something to put paint on and especially Remix and Werd for streamlining this show and making it a success in so many ways. The final tally was under about $1400 (donated to the Star of Hope Foundation) plus a lot of groceries and clothing for our neighbors from Louisianna. Houston Underground Mofoz...now thats Whats Up.
