Sup Cole World!!!
Hope everything is everything and you are having a wonderful holiday season :0). In this blog i will introduce you to Austin’s own Dirtbags Inc a very unique group of artist who i had a chance to recently sit down and interview , ENJOY!
*DB= Dirtbags
1) How did the name “Dirtbags” come about?
DB- The name “Dirtbags” came from me and my friend, we always used to be like man that’s some dirtbag shit you did right there. ha. It was a term that you really don’t hear anymore. I mean, I like to do dirtbag shit.. I like to drink, women, party, get trashed.. etc. What I am doing is taking something negative and making it into a positive.
2) What do most folk assume its about before you even tell them the meaning?DB-I had one person, be like, what is dirtbags?? it doesn’t sound appealing, especially to women. I just ha said “Positive People Positve Outcomes” that usually turns everybody’s frown upside down. #dirtbags
3) Share with us the type of music “Dirtbags Inc” is trying to push out to your fan base and future fan base?
DB- *Candace Bellamy(rnb/soul) *Noah Swords King of the Deathmatch (hiphop/veganrap/hipster) as well as our other artist *Qlee and *Cutta
4)As you know SXSW (South By South West) is one of the BIGGEST events in Austin,TX and even the world. Do you have plans to showcase any of your artist in upcoming SXSW events?
DB-YES!! We will definately be on a few showcases for SXSW.
5) Ive actually heard one of QLee’s mixtapes. It was dope, what’s he working on at the moment?
DB-Thanks. Qlee is actually working on another mixtape. He finished up 1..2 many mornings a few months ago, 1..2 many mornings is coming out soon. This mixtape is going to be real special. He has a Core DJ from Austin, TX. DJ Hella Yella whom did a terrific job on the mixtape. It was definately great having him aboard this project. The “mysterious girl” video is going to be shot here in the next few weeks. That is going to be something to be on the look out for. It’s different, sexy, unique, mysterious, classy just a bundle of greatness waiting for your eyes.
6) Anything else you would want our veiwers to know about Dirtbag Inc? Also where can they keep updated with your movement?DB- “Positive People Positive Outcomes” 3PO Dirtbags INC is not a label or a group.

The @Oxymorrons Album Release with @Game_Rebellion
Alternative hip-hop band, The Oxymorrons, had a release party for their new mix tape, STFU & Listen, this past Friday at the Rocawear Showroom in Manhattan…and it was CRAZY!! MTV’s Sway hosted the event and Game Rebellion performed an amazing opening act.
First of all, you may wonder, who are the Oxymorrons. In their words:
“Imagine Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys had a musical love child, which was raised by Chuck Norris and went to school with Rob Zombie. They are nothing like that. In a cookie cutter fad educed world of hip-hop, the Oxymorrons are breaking the mold on a daily basis. The dynamic duo of K.I and D create playful thought provoking melodies that define an era of hipster and cool nerds that aren’t afraid to embrace their inner ‘GEEK'”
And secondly, you may want to know who Game Rebellion is? Well, here is is:
“An all Black all outta Brooklyn band whose metal, punk and rudeboy skanking licks sound as credible and crunchy as their hiphop lyrics and headnodding bounce.”
If you’re into indie, alternative hip-hop sounds, both bands are definitely worth checking out. There’s no sitting down when it comes to listening to these beats. In fact, there was an all-out mosh pit going down inside the Rocawear Showroom (no, I didn’t participate, in case you were wondering!).
Right now, you can download the entire STFU & Listen album for free here! And learn more about Game Rebellion at their website.

New Music: The Get By
Love that underground Toronto hip-hop music? Well, say ‘hello’ to The Get By. Made up of two emcees (Justis and Mantis) and radio and club DJ Pangea Delphi, they know how to drop a beat.
Definitely not new to the Canadian hip-hop industry, The Get By has shared stages with Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek (Reflection Eternal), Asher Roth, People Under The Stairs, Rapper Big Pooh (of little brother fame), Kardinal Official, Classified, Shad K, DJ Red Alert, Scratch from the Legendary Roots and lots more.
This Toronto-based group will be releasing new music every Monday until their album release in early September. Check out their myspace and get familiar.
Check out this off-track song, “Cruise Control.” Download it here! What do you think of it?
