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.

New Album: @AdrianYounge Presents @Venice_Dawn Something About April
Have you heard Adrian Younge Presents Venice Dawn’s first full-length album, Something About April??
Have you heard Adrian Younge Presents Venice Dawn’s first full-length album, Something About April??
Something About April takes you back to a different era, with its retro, pyschedelic, funk-infused instrumentals. Yet, it maintains a modern sound thanks to the infusion of soulful R&B vocals. This album is perfect for zoning out on the train, exercising or anything in between!
The CD was released on November 29 and will be available on limited-edition vinyl on December 13. The album is also available on iTunes.
Listen to the first single, “It’s Me,” here.

Gimme a Beat @beatsbydre
For the longest time I have wanted Beats by Dr. Dre. They are the popular headphones that you can either buy on their website or in stores such as Best Buy and Apple, and online at Amazon.
Did you check out their limited edition colors? Purple, pink, orange, green…
There is a particular one I want to mention though and that is the Beats Executive. Just the name made me curious as to what it is exactly! I absolutely love the color (black and brushed metal look). What makes this different is that it will have a built-in shutoff feature and have noise cancellation. You’ll be able to preserve the battery life and block all that unnecessary noise you don’t want to hear! Check out Beats Executive to know when it’ll be available!
Don’t forget to ‘Follow’ Beats by Dre on Twitter and ‘Like’ them on Facebook! They have many styles and looks to choose from.So, what do you think about the Beats Executive? And just Beats by Dr. Dre in general?

New Music: Quan “Get Away” @donferquan
This song is touching, I never really heard any of Quan’s music, until this song. A very close friend of mine showed me this, and I’ve been in love with his music since. I’m such a music bug and this is one song that makes me emotional as it’s about his son that had pasted away, Kayden. Quan has a Nas like quality of story telling rapping which I think is a great way of getting your message across. Let me let this song show you how talented he really is because I can’t even describe it. What do you think?

New Music: @thisaintnolove “Step Hard”
These fantastic Canadian artists have joined together to form this hip hop super group – Ain’t No Love. Ain’t No Love is comprised of Beans, 1990, Liam Clarke and Saidah Conrad. Personally I’ve always been a fan of this group even when it was formally – Wra Beans and I always thought they had a different sound, but with the addition of Liam Clarke, they are on FIRE!!! LITERALLY. I’m in love with their debut album and first video together. What do you think??
Love getting these new beats and sounds..
If you know of any up and coming artists, let me know!
xo,
tanya
