Can ANYONE tell me if ANY Okayplayer artists are going to perform at South By Southwest this year? Their website is not very informative..........and from the acts they've listed thus far, HIP-HOP looks like a BLIP or a BLURB.

SXSW announces the hip hop acts(really the majority of acts)late. The bill is starting to look nice. Last year was insane. Duckdown showcase on Fri or Sat already. Killer Mike, Nappy Roots, Whole Duckdown lineup, John Forte, Black Sheep, Murs just to name a few. Here's my schedule so far. I attend a few festivals a yr around the country. This is one of the best hands down.

I may have to steal that. God I love SXSW.

"My distraction is as large as life.
When I feel like being with her,
I almost prefer not being with her,
So as not to have to leave her afterwards."
