#Texas Tracks to #Texmob

So over the past year now I’ve been taking a series of photos titled “Texas Tracks”, all paying homage to the outlaw paint can slingers of US, Mecio and maybe even Canada on occasion. All the photos are taken on various Canon cameras and then uploaded to Instagram with the handle #TexasTracks, but with the reanimation of the infamous crew TexMob all photos will now be hash tagged #TexMob. With the un retired name of TexMob there will soon be a new Website geared towards what you want to fucking see and read. So stay tuned and peep us on Instagram #HSI.

 

Mr. Cap in the Houston Chron

While the “I’m Bout To Blow” ALL ISM music video gets edited through Premier on the daily, Cornelius A. Pratt better known as (Mr. Cap) is traveling the globe jumping from event to event blowing up the new album “ALL ISM”. So while he travels city to city, continent to continent and while you sit on your computer you might as well: read the full article HERE.

 

“Good news, rap fans. Cornelius A. Pratt, better known as the rapper Mr. CAP, is heading back to the Bayou City.

(Mr. CAP is one of many artists to shape Houston’s esteemed rap scene. Check out the gallery above to see which other rap acts rep the Space City.)

Pratt spent the past two years ago in California and Nevada doing computer programming while also getting his business venture, which would assist aspiring musicians, afloat. But his stage time didn’t take a backseat to his day job. All the while, Pratt continued to perform at nights as a member of South Park Coalition, a Houston-based hip-hop collective.

But now, the 40-year old Pratt is back in Houston.

“It took me awhile to realize how tied into Houston music I was,” Pratt says. “My mother was a musician, my dad and his brothers were musicians.”

With the release of his album “All Ism,” Pratt hopes to establish himself as a recording artist in Houston. The album itself draw from his musical roots here in the Bayou City.

Get the full interview and learn what fellow local rapper K-Rino has to say about Pratt’s career move” – Houston Chronicle.

Zimmerman’s Gun

So at least they got into the Houston Chronicles Worst of List for the Shittiest Band Name “Zimmerman’s Gun”,
I’m guessing based of the Kel-Tec Pf-9 used in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, I honestly don’t know much about the story nor do I care to learn. Just another White on Black, Black on White crime. What im here for is to give a shoutout to the real Zimmerman. Also checm em’ out on Bandcamp @ZimmermansGun.

They just got a mention in a Houston Press article, again.. Here the info, Read More…

“Zimmerman’s Gun
Hot off the presses, Zimmerman’s Gun just finished up their first recordings and threw their first EP up on Bandcamp this month. However, you might already know of them if you’ve been to shows lately. By all accounts, they’ve been wowing audiences at every gig they’ve played. This EP was pretty highly anticipated for me, and I’m sure they’re going to continue to kick ass for the remainder of the year. ” – Houston Press 2014.

P.S. Lemme make y’all a new cover…

Riding The Rails

When you’re looking at the side of a freight train and you see the amount of toys and great artists rolling along you tend to forget about the amount of paint on the other side.
