St. Patty's Day marked my final day in Austin. Although I forgot to wear green, I still maintained a festive attitude as I headed "uptown" to the Victory Grill for an outside show hosted by Sol Collective, highlighting several multi-cultural artists, including Zuzuka Poderosa and Los Rakas . A very far walk to the Auditorium Shores, I arrived to see the final half of Shiny Toy Guys . Following the dance-pop troupe, Austin's infamous funky dance-blues group, The Bright Light Social Hour , had the honor of supporting legendary act, The Cult, who are still churning [...]

After the epic failure that was searching for free day shows, I was convinced it was an omen of horrible things to come on my first South By experience. Luckily, the first showcase located at Buffalo Billiard's alleviated all doubts and provided some great music. While in line, I did my share of creepin' on people's conversations just to get a feel for who people were most excited to see. Early birds, of course, were all talking (and for good reason) about Andrea Balency. Per usual of South By showcases, the show started like 10 minutes late. When [...]

If you follow Donuts then you know Los Rakas is an Oakland duo via Panama that is killing it at the moment. Now it's dope to see that our homie Scheme from Chicago has hopped on a track and added his sazon to this Latino collab. S/O: SRNC

I do not know what Scheme is saying, but he sounds good saying it as raps alongside Los Rakas on their new "Lo Mucho Que Te Quiero". Listen to it below. If anyone wants to translate, I'll give you some tix to the Black Milk concert.

Pimpin Smokin Dro Ft E-40 by (Prod By Ned Cameron & Grizz Lee) This braggadocious back and forth slaps like an anthem, celebrating the foundation and future of Bay Area hip-hop, with E-40 proclaiming on the track: 'I'm from the Bay and I f*ck with real motherfuckers like Los Rakas!' Los Rakas debut album, 'Chancletas y Camisetas Bordada' was named by NPR Music as one of the 'Top 50 Releases of 20112 iTunes: Chancletas y Camisetas Bordada - Los Rakas
When it comes to pushing the boundaries and setting trends in both rap and fashion the Bay Area has been on point since... well since E-40. Smell me? The up and coming Panamanians, Los Rakas, smell this well, which is why they enlisted the vet, E to hop on a track only the Bay could create.
Well happy good-golly-hippity-day my pretties. We've all been so busy lately that I feel like I owe you.

Somewhere between Dizzee Rascal and Chromeo tomorrow at Treasure Island Music Festival there is going to be a high energy freak-fest that will require all amounts of energy from the unsuspecting audience.

Chancletas y Camisetas Bordada, Los Rakas Soy Raka LLC, Panama Rating: 78 by Carlos Reyes In last year's video for "Soy Raka," Panamanian sensation Los Rakas rolled their Afro-Caribbean mojo through the streets of Oakland, shouting loud and proud to the bursting pulse of their self-assuring anthem. In the middle of that video, they stopped by a Mexican vaquero wear shop where, immediately after entering the building, they paused the turfing beat shower to honor the Mexican song playing on the shop's speakers.
