Another big one for the record books! This should have happened a long time ago! I finally got my brother Doug Mecca up in the studio for some real talk. 

Doug is a pioneer in Austin hip hop and beyond. He and his Hip Hop Mecca Crew revolutionized the game back in the 90's when they started promoting hip hop shows on the regular with both national and local artists at a time when it was even harder to get stages for hip hop than it was in the 2000's. Austin has come a long way and Hip Hop Mecca and their work played a huge role in legitimizing hip hop within the Austin music scene. Trust, it was a lot of work. 

They also booked some of the coolest hip hop showcases at SXSW in the late 90's/early 2000's. They are the crew who brought crews like the Living Legends, Hieroglyphics, Rhymesayers, Project Blowed and way more to Austin and to SXSW. Their events were always fun and also always loaded with local artists. They built a ton of bridges and Doug has tons of stories. Word to Mike Henry (who also needs to come on the pod).
Born in New York, he came to South Austin in the 3rd Grade and has seen it all. Catch him any night at the coolest club still standing on 6th Street, Flamingo Cantina. 

Enjoy this episode and as always Tell a Friend to Tell a Friend to tune into Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala!

Dub & Effection | EP.34 feat. Tom Manzarek

An opening track to my upcoming album. The imagery is being in an abandoned cold place praying for warmth to come. The repetitive hail mary's show ritualistic penance for one's unwarranted guilt for existing as is, in a world that wants you to feel out of place. This person just wants it to end, they pray for deliverence from this evil. Many more singles to come from this huge project of mine. late summer/ early fall album release, as i am finishing up the album in the next month. Love

opening prayer

Special convo with Madrid's Reggae/Dancehall artist Lasai about his influences, global journey, and offers a taste of his dynamic live performance—followed by EDICA+’s signature eclectic mix of fresh selections.
