The hustle and bustle of South By Southwest is a lot for artists to handle, but in the case of Tray Freshh of group Ujuzi Fresh, he found it to be the ample time to shoot a video. The premise of “This Year” is very simple; there’s no time to wait on the hustle. Tray showcases that, and give us

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.

Wednesday was my first experience seeing Milwaukee’s extra-large Group of the Altos, and it was definitely just that; an experience. The 15(I think?) piece group has multiples of just about every instrument, making for a larger-than-life sound that translates to their live performance. The group features Milwaukee emcee Klassik as well, both for his verses as well as his saxophone
