Here's the first live performance footage from our SXSW 2009 excursion...It most definitely won't be the last.  Rather than throw it all up at once, we're going to ease into it, and start with this smooth collabo between Cali's Blu and Brooklynatti's Tanya Morgan live from The Rumbler, an event we were part of alongside Nahright, TSS and powered by Hostway.  Check out the clip below, and look out for more.

RH TV: Bighomie D.O.E. Freestyle In The Park

Big Homie Doe

So, Freestyle In The Park's caught some flak in the new season..."These dudes aren't really freestyling...These dudes suck...etc..."  Well, a couple points on that.  When we say Freestyle In The Park, we mean it in the sense that artists can do whatever they want.  In fact there have been films, books, essays on what exactly constitutes a "freestyle", and I'm not going to get into that here.  Second, we can't make a rapper perform well, we merely given them the stage and let them show their stuff.  Some do that much better than others...In reality, we've recognized a certain thing lacking in some of the recent FITP features, and we've come to correct all that with this one featuring Bighomie D.O.E. of The Brainiac Society.  D.O.E.'s really took off after Mikkey Halsted's Internet On Lock event and hasn't slowed down since.  Some of you may have never heard of him before, so allow this to serve as a proper introduction.

RH TV: Nick N' Beans Freestyle In The Park

Nick n Beans
I guess you either love or hate Nick N' Beans, at least that's the feeling I get when the young duo comes up in conversation.  Some dismiss them immediately because of their age and style, just as I'm sure some embrace them purely for their associations.  Regardless of sides, both outlooks are wrong, as they fail to give Nick and/or Beans a chance to show and prove...Well, that's what we're all about here at RH, so we open up the park to Nick N' Beans...See them spit below.
