For those that don't know, KIXPO is a sneaker/streetwear expo that takes place in Dallas, TX and is nearing its second coming on July 26th. Its a growing event and has everyone in Texas anticipating bigger things this year, and they definitely won't be dissapointed. Last year they put together a super sick mixtape produced by Picnic and he's done it again this year and really blessed it with his phenomenal production skills.

Thanks Picnic for a great compilation of Dallas' finest talent, and is really putting the hometown on the map. This years edition features artists like Paul Wall, Strange Fruit Project, Headkrack, Verbal Seed, Titeman, Cerebral Vortex, Max Moon, Dawg Wonder, Knesesary, Mes the Jive Turkey and a bunch of other great artists. I created the artwork for the mixtape and am greatly appreciative to be a part of this project and for whats to come for KIXPO and Thugboss.

DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL KIXPO MIXTAPE produced by Picnic and mixed by DJ Niro of Deadstock.

It’s iPOD ready and well-worth the download… DON’T SLEEP!!

Last night we had the opportunity to see a dope show presented by Decon Records at Mezzanine in SF with some West Coast Heavy Hitters, Aceyalone, Alchemist, & Dilated Peoples. Each of them rocked the crowd and had everyone's hands up the entire night.

Aceyalone rocked some classic joints and even mixed in quite a few from his new album "Lightning Strikes" which is in stores now. Alchemist also did his thing and so did Dilated Peoples. Overall, this was a good show, and if you missed it, well you were definitely sleeping.

We heard it went down at the release party for JUXTAPOZ. Cam was there representin' and even caught one of the acts representin' us to the fullest. Shout out to 215: THE FRESHEST KIDZ...I peeped their page and I'm feeling their sound. RESPECT. Peep the pics.

Lil' Wayne's "THA CARTER III" ladies and gentleman. Go cop that. Been on repeat for a minute now with me and I gotta say I agree with Diddy.



My favorite track is "Phone Home" produced by Cool & Dre. There's also the "Prostitute 2" bonus on the iTunes album. Let us know what yours is.
