Hip Hop Showcase to Represent at SXSW

by: Mark Lelinwalla

right Ghostface Killah, Talib Kweli, Chamillionaire, Chingo Bling, Devin the Dude, Lady Sovereign, K-OS, upcoming MC, Apathy, and underground heavyweight, Immortal Technique, are some of the urban artists scheduled to perform at the 2006 SXSW in Austin, Texas.

R&B crooner, Anthony Hamilton, is also on this year's bill.

Houston's own Slim Thug and Paul Wall, The People's Champ, won over fans with performances at last year's SXSW. SXSW numbers have shown that Austin's music venue revenues increase 45 percent, along with increases at restaurants and bars, all because of the annual conference.

The 2006 SXSW music fest is slated to begin March 10 and end March 19. VIBE.com will be heavy on hand to bring you the latest news on the mega event.

And now Crooked I, Mickey Factz, Blu, and Jay Electronica have blown up—with little more than laptops and IP addresses. Chris Yuscavage chases the RSS feed. ...(read more)
