Help Support Bounce At SXSW

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

New Orleans Block Party

For the first time, the South By Southwest music conference is hosting an official showcase of classic bounce and the artists need financial support to help make this happen. Artists on the bill include Partners-N-Crime, DJ Jubilee, Katey Red, Big Freedia, Vockah Redu, Magnolia Shorty and Ms Tee.

As you may know, SXSW has booked its first-ever official showcase of
classic New Orleans bounce. The seven artists on the bill are all
straight-up originators of the sound, and few have gotten their just
due for their awesome contribution to New Orleans music. We need your
help getting them to Austin in March, and we have some kickass rewards
in store for generous helpers who believe in getting the music out
there.

Below is the link to our fundraising page. Please blog it, share it,
forward it, repost it and do all those social networking things people
do with it!

If you’ve ever been a fan of bounce music, please consider donating. There are some amazing rewards for the various levels of support. Please check out the details and support this.

Mentioned In The Jamaica Star

Ms. Thing

Last week, the newspaper The Jamaica Star wrote a cover story about Ms Thing & Psycho Tanbad’s voicing of my “Smoke Machine Riddim” (the track Vybz Kartel wrote “Yuh Love” on). Their new voicing is called “Bonify” and they have shot a somewhat scandalous video that you can check out over at Mixpak. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

With a raunchy video circulating on the Internet, dancehall artiste Ms Thing says she has no problem appearing nude in the raw version of her Bonify music video.

The sexually explicit video for the song, which is a collaboration with Psycho Tanbad, surfaced on the Internet recently. The video was done by Terminal 4 Media, while the song was produced by Dre Skull, from New York.

But there is also an edited version that has been on local TV for a few weeks. The raw version, Ms Thing says, is strictly for the Internet.

In the first scene, Psycho Tanbad lays on top of Ms Thing, with both of them appearing nude. At some points, Ms Thing’s breasts are exposed but both their lower bodies are slightly blurred. There is also a scene where they are in a shower together, hugging and rubbing down each other. Her breasts are also fully shown here. She is also nude while in the Jacuzzi.
