Day 4 at SXSW is when the weekend started, and things started to ramp up. The rain didn’t stop anyone from wildin’ out!
The day started with keynote speaker Snoop Dogg talking about his new album Bush, his youth sports and film ventures, HBO series plans, and Willie Nelson.
Hipnotic Brass Ensemble showed everyone that Jazz can do Hip Hop too.
Dej Loaf popped up out of no where at a random bar.
Killer Mike and El-P murdered the stage at Spin Magazine’s day party, and dared anyone to try to step on their stage.
Later that night I worked on the stage crew again at 720 Club, and got to see Montreal grunge metal band JPNSGRLS. They killed it, along with Atlanta’s Black Linen who put some soul back into rock!
Day 4 of DJ Iron Mic’s South by Southwest adventure.

Day 3
Power producers Mannie Fresh, Just Blaze, KLC, and Young Guru held a panel discussion hosted by Hot 97′s Paul Rosenberg. They discussed production techniques and working with artists through the years.
Later on, Migos rocked the stage at Mohawk’s on Red River St.
I worked at 720 Club on Red River St. as a member of the stage crew this night, and got to see some killer indie rock bands.
Fotogramas came from Chile just to rock Austin, and did an awesome job.
The Nuns put on an impressive set, as well as a band from our neighboring state of Tennessee called Daddy Issues. Not to be confused with NC’s Daddy Issues.
It was another fun and music-filled day for DJ Iron Mic at #SXSW2015.
