Holy Hip Hop Fun Day-
4/11

This was an awesome event. We love giving back to the community. The staff at the Prince Center is top notched. We were able to provide good music, free food, and plenty of exercise. We witnessed an awesome slam dunk contest and had the opportunity to meet Bun-B.

Cy Fair Highschool

Cy Fair Dance-
4/3/09

Tonight we performed for a good cause at Cy Fair Highschool. The students in there were bananas. They were definitely having a good time. Tre-9 performed w/ Cutz, we hit the stage, and after us was Von. We offended some people with our lyrics but it was all worth it. We planted some seeds that night.

Clear Creek Community

Clear Creek Community Church @ Clear Springs
3/29/09
We had a good time worshipping with Clear Creek Community @ their Clear Springs location. The staff was phenomenal and we were able to play a bunch of basketball. We had a competition to see who can hit the shot from half court first and we lost to a staff member. I (Chizzell) hit the shot second. I think that Boyce is still there trying to hit his. We had a great time and we can not wait to go back

SXSW (South By Southwest)

This was our first year attending SXSW (South By South West). This is the biggest Music Conference in the world. Over 700 bands have hit stages in the last few days. We were in concert in the Theatre of the Carver building. It was a small venue that we had. Since this is the first year that they had this type on genre they were unsure of the response that we would get. Well Thank God we answered that question. We packed out the event in a matter of minutes. They had to turn people away, which made a lot of people unhappy. Especially those who traveled a far distance to see this showcase. I guess that will teach them to be early next time. Several artist hit the stage with the headliner being Lecrae. Lecrae is one of the most successful Gospel Rap artist ever. He is down toe earth, we do a lot of concerts together and he is always the same humble cat. All of his popularity has not changed him one bit. Some of the artist who hit the stage were: Blue, Dooney, Braile, Kaboose, Warriors, Much Luvv Fam (SOM, Tre9, Von Won, Gifted, Cy), and then Lecrae. The crowd was really energetic and really enjoyed the show case. Our team as a whole had a 1 hour set and our job was to set the stage for Lecrae. We have a strong fan base in Austin and it was encouraging to be 2 hours plus from home and see people vibing and singing along to your music. By the time we hit the stage even more people had come to attend the concert. These people were angry and things got a little heated. We had to stop the concert and tell everyone that we were going to have an after party down the street. So those who could not get in left and were the first in line for the after party. We closed out our set with a worship song called closer (thanks Laden). Once we finished they cleared the stage for Lecrae. They attempted to squeeze as many more people they could into the venue before he started. There was still not enough room for the people standing in the hallways outside the door- SXSW noticed the demand and fan-base of our genre. Lecrae really tore the stage up, he is annoitned and he captivates a crowd. EVERYONE was singing along with his set on every song.


After the show it’s the after party…….
We traveled down the road about ½ mile to Greater Mt. Zion for the after party. Lecrae was gracious enough to perform at the after party because so many of his fans were turned away at the show case. They put him up first and he tore it up again…..
The Much Luvv fam went up for a 45 minute set. The crowd was real responsive. Overall it was a fantastic weekend. I think that we really impressed SXSW, well I know we did. They have already confirmed a booking with us next year in a BIIIIIIG Venue w/ Canton Jones.

Street Gospel- Praise 92.1fm

Street Gospel- Praise 92.1fm

The night was not over we left the Woodlands she and made a 40 mile drive to Praise 92.1fm Radio Station. Dj Wiz and Dj Revelation asked us to come out and be interviewed for their show. Their show is on from 10pm-12am every Saturday night. It had been a while since we had been in a station interviewing. We really were not rusty at all. The questions flowed real well and we were able to talk about all of the things that we wanted to discuss. They played 5 of our songs throughout the night. The phone calls were ringing off the wall and we received a lot of love. At the end of the show we recorded some drops for the radio station and we let them know that we would make them a song. Stay tuned for more info and make sure you log on to Praise 92.1fm.
