Shane Eli & XV Street Interview at SXSW [VIDEO]

During the A3C & DJ Booth 2 stage showcase, I was able to get a street interview with Shane Eli and XV on the last night of SXSW. The venue was packed and the crowd was hyped and these two guys couldn't wait to express their feels about the importance of SXSW and everyone involved. Can't wait for these guys to do a song together.

SXSW Hip-Hop Series | Boog Brown

Boog Brown SXSW Artist Page

Starting off our SXSW Featured Artist Series with a strong MC just seemed the right way to go. Enter Boog Brown. Originally from Detroit, but now residing in Atlanta, Boog Brown is one of the hardest spitting artist on the come-up. I don't know if this will be her first performance at SXSW but it will be one of the best --trust me, I've seen her live, she's mesmorizingly sick! Boog Brown is a lyrically polarizing, Hip-Hop grounded, unstoppable force to be reckoned with.


Make sure you check out our interview with her at A3C 2011.
