Local Music
I always look for “quality” local music to support. In the streets last week, some one asked was I on “Purple”. I don’t smoke or drink so I was lost. Until they pulled out Lil Ray’s single. I love how it was packaged. It said “I’m serious about my career”. And that was the main […]
My homie DJ Scream from Atlanta only calls me for major moves. So when he called asking me was I on the “Black Jew” record, I had to play “catch up”. Ironically, the record is from right here in Houston. Jefe Wine (aka Wine O) is back!!! Always fully repping 5th Ward, check out “Black […]
I can’t even front. Boston George has to be one of the hardest working artist in Texas right now. Street anthem after anthem, its good to see the world embrace one of the “homies”. Check out his latest release “Trill”. @BostonGeorgeAMG (Twitter) Molly Rmx ft Kirko Bangz & Meek Mill “Drug War” Hosted […]
Beyoncé gets a little time on Jay-Z’s Magna Carta… Holy Grail with the release of “Part II (On the Run),” a follow up to the Carter’s 2008 hit, “’03 Bonnie & Clyde.” The solo version of Bey’s track, produced by Timbaland, is gaining steady praise from fans while being largely different from many of her earlier hits.

Twerk Alert!!! Fat Pimp (Mr Roll Me Up) is back with some new heat!!! Check out “Left Right”. One thing I like about Fat Pimp, he keeps dropping music! And the clubs / streets respond to it. I’m “The Local Music Guy” here at 97.9 The Box. May have to try this one out in […]
Last week, I ran to 24 Hr Fitness for late night workout. Before I could even start my workout, I bumped into Chamillionaire. Beside the fact he’s a friend, he’s one of the pioneers of the “Houston wave” that had us on fire. (Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, etc) We spoke about some […]
