After breakfast in the morning with my people in Tubingen the 6 hour drive to Linz, Austria began. 6 hours in really nothing in the grand scheme of things, but it's still 6 hours lol. There's something about being in good company that makes time fly by though and after a DOPE conversation about Production, sound, Paul C, and all around life in general we were pulling up infront of Kapu.
Little Brother had performed here a week ago and a host of family from back home had performed there from years past. Emanon, Myka Nine, Blu, Hezekiah and so many more have left writings on the wall in the upper room they have set up for artist to sleep. It was an HONOR to be at this place! I've been thinking very heavily about this being my last year or so doing this music, but to be in a place where my peers and people I looked up to have rocked makes me question that decision.
WIRELESS INTERNET!!! Good deal. I had to throw some early blogs up and skype back home. We got a chance to sit down for a while and chill it seems like time flew and we hit the stage. The difference between this crowd and others is that a LOT of hip hop shows have come through here. You can't bullshit these people. If you ain't rockin', they ain't fuckin wit you! Those were perfect odds for us, since we made a serious effort to keep the show as high energy as possible. Linz is a hip hop artist dream to perform at. A crowd that "gets it" but is not stuck up because they do. They stayed with us the whole time, and did the Maintain Excellence parts PERFECTLY!
After the show we sold some product and went upstairs to rest. Ofcourse I could barely sleep lol. But we had to leave in a few hours as is.Linz is a rugged city, industrial, sorta like Detroit or Spokane, WA. The people are savvy though, they follow hip hop and know their shit. It was an honor to rock with ya'll. Hopefully i'll make it back there in the near future.
Time for Vienna
