Texus Street Muzik

Residing out of the Rio Grande Valley or as the locals call it, El Valle, them Texus Street Brick Rappers' have spawned a local power house that has brought something serious to the table of the rap game. With all members having different regional backgrounds "The Street" came to be what it is today by hooking up at The Southside, a small underground music spot in downtown McAllen (wut up El Sid), in 2003. While frequenting the shop hustling their different business ventures the 5 began work on a few collaborations. Those projects eventually lead to the formation of the TXSM (Texus Street Muzik) brand that scorches everything it touches. Since then The Streets relentless grind has paid off in the form of two underground albums that shook Texus like a pyrex beaker. In April of 2005 Big Gastinos debute album,"Who Hold Wut" infected the region and quickly spread though out Texus. To date, Who Hold Wut has 9 songs which have been aired on various rap stations and has sold over 3,000 copies with no major marketing campaign. Shortly after its release Big Gastino was interviewed by Street Wize Magazine ( 2005: issue 6 ) to discuss the buzz in the street and the direction TXSM was headed. Powa By Numbas, the latest 46 track double disc, is a well balanced blend of dark hardcore street reality and the occasional reward life shoots you in the game. The January 2006 release has already jumped out of gate uniquely piecing together local and out of town talents from the Midwest to Houston back down to the 956. Aside from recording CDs,various mixtapes and song features, Texus Street Muzik has performed on venues which have included Fat Joe, Z- Ro, Paul Wall, Lil KeKe, The Swishahouse,Juvenile, Play N Skillz, Pitbull &Chingo Bling.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
