Without a show to shoot on Friday night at SXSW, I decided to throw together a cypher on 6th St. and film it. However, from that, it was also decided that there should be a second cypher at the Pearl St. Co-Op later that night. I walked into a full on college rager, and the cypher only made things crazier.

When I heard that WebsterX was playing South By Southwest this year, I was pretty stoked.

Wednesday was my first experience seeing Milwaukee’s extra-large Group of the Altos, and it was definitely just that; an experience.

The group features Milwaukee emcee Klassik as well, both for his verses as well as his saxophone

Sprinkled into a fun set of opening acts at Bleachers’ free day party was Joywave, a band that had been around for several years, but is first starting to really break into the elusive next level.

Thursday at SXSW was, for me, predominately about hip hop. I started off way earlier than Wednesday, with my first stop being Crisp on 6th Street for a showcase. I saw a lot of new faces, including Alaskan rapper Baked Alaska, who rapped about climbing mountains and the trap… Grizzly Bear trap, that is. While I couldn’t necessarily relate, at
