My favorite group, Grimy Styles hit the city on the tail end of their east coast tour and straight up turned the Proletariat out! Big ups to everyone else on the bill - DJ's Witnes, Dayta and Simiu and the lovely and talented songstress KAM! Man, for real, these were some of the nicest vibes I've felt in a club in a long time. Members of the SPC, KB da Kidnappa, Zin, Niq of the Grit Boys and a gang of artists and movers and shakers showed up and jammed down to the sound.
Real talk, a lot of people can't believe that four white dudes from Austin have taken dub reggae to such a new level. The boys are unfadable for real. And I have the pictures to prove it.
(DISCLAIMER - My good, good friend Queen Majesty was booked to DJ tonight, we bought flights and everything. She had a three date run in Dallas, Houston and Austin, but alas and alak, she works in the fashion industry and well, Fashion Week is coming up in NYC in a couple weeks, and they got overwhelmed with work and basically said she couldn't take off work. Damn the (wo)man. I'll never wear another Sound Girl shirt again.
But straight up, we will get the Queen down here soon, cuz Houston wants to see her. As do I.

This girl is on the VIP List for every party I ever throw ever. Might even put her on a flyer. She's everywhere.
And man, when these boys hit the stage, the crowd went insane. Danacing non-stop for an hour and a half.
Motherfucking rappers can't do 15 mins rapping over a CD without bitching about it, these dudes do 3 hour sets and shit. Come on man, learn yo lesson.
Martin is a genius. All four of them are. What a freakin' sound.
DANCE!
They opened the mic toward the end of their set and KB da Kidnappa grabbed hold and didn't let up. Freakin' killed it with the live band vibe. So Real!
Stars.
DJ 13-8 IN THE BUILDING!
Turhan once again in the crowd.
Zin killed it on stage alongside KB
This girl was playing a kazoo outside but wouldn't lemme get a shot of her in "action"
Kuwait of the SPC! Also in the house were Dope E, K-Rino, Murder 1, Justice Allah of the 144 Elite (Bro, I didn't know you are also DNJC! I love your song "Love!"), Lean Sippa, Domo, DJ Awol and more! I should have gotten more photos.
Just suffice it to say it went down. Lets do this again sometime soon. Proletariat 5 year anniversary is this weekend. Come down!
