54 Reality Show 7-29 (Work-In-Progress)

Whats good folk, its ya boy the m.o.s., its 3:30 am and I'm watching Canadian comedy shows...life is great! There is no video blog this week, but thats due to work, and has nothing at all to do with me being a lazy negro...nope not at all. This past weekend we shot a video for our latest track with the homie Dichter2 Productions out of Germany. Much love to the fam Jamien, Cientifiq, and Carisa for helping us out and starring in the latest Dookie Vizion Production. Just wait till you see the out-takes...mayne.

Speaking of Dookie Vizion Productions, take a minute to revisit the last D.V. masterpiece Bavu Blakes - Go Blaze video. I've never seen an official Waffle House commercial, this should be it. Props to Ter'ell Shahid and the homie Picnic of PPT.



Speaking of PPT, check out this video by the new group consisting of the other members Pikhasso & Tahiti. AwkQuarius - Let's Hit The Town.



The 54 Reality Show is all about the local scene, so I'ma give a little love to the fam Cali Zack & N/A Productions. The home girl Angelina has been shooting footage of them rocking shows and put together nice demo reel.



I think I'm starting to see double, so I'm going to wrap this up, plus my show is about to go off. The homie Gee Bully (who we just did a dope collabo with) and his AAE fam just put together the 2nd Annual Austin Hip-Hop Awards. There's been a lot of drama and back talk on this event, but at the end of the day I got love for any one trying to show love to some of these Cen-Tex artist. Check out part 1 of the footage from the show here.



Don't worry, we'll be back next week with a MASSIVE video blog. We checked out a bunch of dope shows, plus we'll be debuting the PAY US NO MIND video. Join us on twitter @crew54 and let me know what's good.

I told we was international before, but you know its just not good enough when you say it yourself. So I went and got the hottest DJ/Personality/Hip-Hop Head from Amsterdamn Pay aka Payola Jamz of www.payology.com to let yall know how we really get down.

July has been a busy month for us, after taking what seemed like a short hiatus from recording new material after Crew Deep, we're back in the fast lane in the studio droping tracks gearing up for the Ghetto Rhapsody process. Also we got a sneak peak of a new joint we're working on featuring the homies Megaran & DJ NickNack produced by Keelay & Zaire.

Oh yeah stop by www.austinsurreal.com to check out the new League of Extrordinary G'z track, trust me on that one...

Finally we debut the latest Dookie Vizion Production: Bavu Blakes - Go Blaze video. This track, produced by the stellar Picnic of PPT fame, is off of Bavu's Extra Plair EP which was released last year. Thats the beauty of it though, good music can stand the test of the time, also a big shout out to Ter'ell Shahid and the Waffle House staff.

"Cause everybody's rappin, and only few can flow So why the hell they tryin to deal with Live I don't know" - J-live

Truer words have never been written, and even though these lyrics are from his 1995 classic "Braggin Writes," they still ring true to this day. We've been talking about it for a bit, J-live and Homeboy Sandman rocking live in TX. Thanks to the folks from Save Hip-Hop Save The World up in Dallas for getting it jumped off.

First ATX's own, Feddi Man & DJ Protege, represented for the South. Then Homeboy Sandman, who has been traveling across the country, stopped in the 512 to give us a taste of his new single The Essence, and share the mic with Feddi Man in true freestyle form. We also got Miss Summa Reign out of Dallas to give us a quick shout out.

Then the legend J-live took the stage, simultaneously rapping and dj'ing, and putting on an inspiring performance. To top it off, we got the homie Bavu Blakes to come and talk with him for a while so do yourself a favor and peep game...

It's a new month with a new episode of the best weekly video blog showcasing the hip-hop scene from a true underground perespective. Let's get it.

The temperature around here has been stuck on "sweaty ass" lately, so what better way to enjoy the heat than to throw a BBQ and chill with family and friends. This also gave us time to reflect on a hot show we checked out earlier in the week, Talib Kweli and Strong Arm Steady putting it down.

The homies from Proper Entertainment brought another quality hip-hop show to the Austin area, they also brought along a few Austin locals to rock the bill. Bavu was the host, while Traygod, Zeale, and Cali Zack jumped off the festivities with DJ Hannibal backing them up.

Then it was time for Strong Arm Steady to rip it up, but first DJ Eque came out to get the crowd in a heated frenzy playing some classics. Then Krondon, Phil Da Agony, and Mitchy Slick, better known as Strong Arm Steady, came out to show why they were "Talib Kweli recruited." Then the man himself, Talib Kweli, came out and ran through all of his classics and a few off his new project with DJ Hi-tek.

Afterwards Bavu caught up with Kweli to talk about his recent marriage to DJ Eque, and his label Blacksmith records. Catch it all here on the 54 Reality Show...
