Hip Hop at SXSW This Year - Mar 15-19 Austin, TX

Matt Sonzala???s South By Southwest Initial AnnouncementO.K. y???all this is what I have been working on for my portion of SXSW. I book a lot of the hip hop but this year there are shows happening that I had nothing to do with, they just happened (Rhymesayers, Visionaries, Blackalicious/Mr. Lif outside, etc.).I hope that many, many of you can make it out. You need a badge or a wristband to get into the shows, but we will also sell a limited amount of individual tickets at the door each night. Get there early if you want to buy tickets. I have a couple surprises I can???t announce yet but when I do, you will freak. Plus, all of this info is subject to change. Do not ask me to change your showcase time or date because I will not. ALL OF THIS INFO IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE NOTHING IS WRITTEN IN STONE BUT THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS SO FAR DO NOT TRIP JUST ATTEND.Times should be correct but lets see how it all pans out. Go to www.sxsw.com for more info. Thanks. Huge Night ??? Mar. 15th Wednesday Back Room1:15 a.m. ??? 2:00 a.m. ???
