We first conceptualized this show after the homey V-Zilla gave us a
ring and told us that he and the SWAT CREW were coming through the ATX.
We wasted no time to get together with the No Hurt Feelings crew out
of San Antonio , T-Flo Production Studio (ATX), and Another Option Productions
to create SUMMER IN THE CITY.
The show boasted a hot mic'ed crew of MC's .; The SWAT PRODUCT more
than repped their block, they stood up and had the Austin crowd hyper
than most.
The show also included a small art show and custom shoe show that was
appreciated t by the ME TV show, SMASH. Host Dru Fay interviewed artists
and filmed the video show using both the art show and live graffiti
as a backdrop.Artists included Lucas (THIC), Glaxta, David Lozano, Marc
of Mofoz, and more.
Following the SWAT crew, we had the No Hurt Feelings crew out of San
Antonio coordinate the freestyle battle. This crew has been hosting
rap battles in San Antonio for the last 8 or 9 months in the 210, and
had something in store for Austin.
Up for grabs was $150 cash and a production package from T-Flo production
studios worth $300. ...Now I dont know where all the MC's were this
fine evening...as we only had 6 contestants....Phranchyze 1 collected
all winnings...almost as a default., but whatever.
Big ups to Geks 210 for hosting the event, DJ Freeverse who seemed
to elude the cameras the whole night, but did keep the crowd moving
throughout the night as well as held down the sound all night(couldnt
have done it without ya homie). Thanks to all that attended and helped
out with the event--good times.
