We been gettin’ it in, in Los Angeles since the beginning of 2012 working on two new Fat Tony & Tom Cruz albums that will be out this year in the Spring and Fall, God willing. Fuck with us. Built our own studio in a home so you know we’re working quite comfortably. If you’re a RABDARGAB fan we going even bigger and better this time around. Paul’s the engineer, Tom Cruz’s the producer, and I’m the rapper.

“A nigga was smoking a blunt inbetween performing at Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, Texas this past weekend. The bud was some blue dream. The rillo was a swisher. Delicous.”

Photos from Fun Fun Fun Fest Nites #2 at the Mohawk (Friday, November 4th), one of the several wild ‘n’ loose after parties they threw over the festival weekend. All pictures are from my set right before Big Freedia where I rapped really well to hundreds of drunks in a room that can barely fit 10 skinny children comfortably including famous people Reggie Watts and Ryan Gosling.
Many thanks to The Bar Bat for capturing Austin at its wildest. See more of his photos here: http://thebarbat.dphoto.com
Fat Tony, Big Freedia, Cold Cave, and Glass Candy… we all slayed.

BLACK AMERIKKKA TOUR 2K11 was a blast. Successful run of spreading wild ass rap music, posicore vibes, and that down & dirty H-Town flavor. Much love & many thanks to my buddy B L A C K I E for letting a nigga ride and open up many dates! B L A C K I E got more dates to go on the tour while I take my ass home. Peep the remaining dates in my beloved tour dates section up top.
Shoutout A.D.D. and Lord Hightower for rolling along on this lil adventure too. Y’all company was delightful. ^_^
Went all over the south, the east, and POP MONTREAL 2011. Learned many things from this tour, like what it’s like to really miss home, my family, the love of my life, and having a bed & good food daily. A man can’t live on pride alone.
Montreal was too trill. In fact, I’ma call it Montrill. You like that? Yeah, nigga. Was my 1st time outside of America and can’t wait to venture off again. Only got hassled by border patrol getting into New York state rather than getting into Canada. Sorry we didn’t have any drugs for you, boys.
Met my new favorite female french canadian rap duo INSTITUTIONAL PROSTITUTION out in MTL. I think I’m in lurve.
Ip is a band who would love to be either Jacques Rivette or Mis krazie.
Ip is really into contemporary dance, reggeaton and community center shows with teenagers.
Ip is violons and fluoranscent lights.
Ip steals from your Grocery Stores and organizes funeral for your car.
They that next wave, that new future, that new new. For all the teenagers in all the community centers worldwide. Holla holla holla.
