I recently had to opportunity to take part in the 2009 South by South West music festival. SXSW is one of the largest music festivals in the world. Thousands of artists, groups and supporters of various music types migrate to Austin each spring to take part. The Hip-Hop aspect of the 2009 festival was the largest its ever been. Below is a link to photo documentation of some of the Hip-Hop happenings that took place as seen by myself.
Featured artists for this project include Bun B, B.O.B. aka Bobby Ray, Mistah Fab, Big Boi, Janell Monae, Balance and Asher Roth.

B.O.B. aka Bobby Ray Rocked SXSW 2009 Showcase
B.O.B. aka Bobby Ray was in town a few weeks ago for SXSW. He performed a total of six times throughout the week. Below you can watch his main SXSW Showcase at the Austin Music Hall. I had the opportunity to meet B.O.B. and his team a while back and immediately became a fan of what they are doing. As you can see in the video, he isn’t lacking passion.
Be sure to also check out his drummer “Alien”, in the footage. Another talented individual.

Destiny by Design - Click to Watch
I recently completed my latest documentary. This recent vision focuses on the Destiny by Design junior high after-school program. Originally, I planned to create a photo-only project documenting the Fall 08 semester, but this time around I chose to merge my photo work with video to better communicate this amazing story. I was blessed to have the opportunity to be involved with this program yet again and single handedly witnessed the inspiration music is capable of providing.
Destiny by Design, in cooperation with Citizen Schools, focuses on culture and career development opportunities within hip-hop. Teaming with volunteers, the Destiny by Design kids were able to utilize their creativity to produce, write, and record their own song.

KRS One at The Mohawk Photographs
KRS One came through The Mohawk Sunday night courtesy of Proper Entertainment. The harsh (cold) weather didn’t stop KRS One and the other performers from putting on a great show and it didn’t stop supporters from showing up. The event was packed. Other performers included Zeale 32, Crew 54, and Brooks City. Austin MC Bavu Blakes was the host for the evening.

Chamillitary vs 97.9 The Box Basketball Game at Fly Rydes
A long week on the road lead up to Chamillionaire’s Fly Rydes shop in Houston this past Sunday. The occasion, a basketball game featuring Chamillionaire’s Chamillitary/Fly Rydes team versus the The Box (97.9) team. Captains for the teams were Chamillionaire and J-Mac. Chamillionaire invited all of Houston, as well as everyone else, to his shop on the north side of Houston for free food, autograph signing, pictures, and the heavily promoted basketball game. The event was packed full of people as were the roads to the shop. The bets were official, if the Chamillitary team lost, Chamillionaire would pimp a fans ride. If they won, J-Mac would wash cars for half a day. In the end, the Chamillitary team ended up with the victory.
