This lineup is the shit! Shout out Yeah Def for putting this on for the 3rd year in a row, and shout out DJ Shobes for the flyer.
Most people would never expect that Beastie Boys have impacted Dallas and Texas music, but artists like Big Tuck and UGK have sampled their work for some of their biggest songs. When Paris P and I first started rapping, we wrote to “Intergalactic,” which was not easy. That beat opened my ear to writing to diverse sounds. The Licensed to Ill album was our DJ Sober’s introduction to hip-hop, so just within our circle, they’ve influenced two generations of rap fans. MCA’s attitude and style was one of the most distinguished. He’s an icon whose contributions will impact generations of artists to come.
