Show Review: Freeway, Jake One and friends @ the Highline



So we opened up a New York office. 

Ramon being a native Austinite didn't make us hip enough, so I sold the car and what was left of my soul and hopped a plane for Williamsburg, New York - ground zero for people who wear infuriating outfits for a living. 

Of course, before the trust-fund condos and "vintage" shops sprang up, 1 or 2 or 10 genre-defining hip-hop legends got started not all that far from here. Last night I went to my first rap show as an NY transplant, and it was actually worth the commute.
