Today is the big SXSW Project Blowed BBQ here in Austin and the kinship shared between Texas and California rap scenes is hardly a new thing. Houston's Rap-A-Lot Records already had Oakland's Seagram on their roster when Lil James and company made the move to sign Menace Clan out of Los Angeles. Their "What You Say" video shown below features Menace Clan rapping right across the street from Project Blowed in Leimert Park. As former regulars to the Good Life Cafe open mic nights up the street on Crenshaw, Menace Clan not only benefitted from Rap-A-Lot deciding to release their 1995 album titled Da Hood, but Scarface himself produced the track for "What You Say"...
