Full disclosure: I know this dude.
I know lots of rappers though. Very few are worth noting. In Texas, it's mostly rappers biting Screwston's style: verses about weed, women, cars, candy paint, codeine, all with chopped hooks, stream of conscious flow, and the imitated faux-gloss carnival production style of...Carnival Beats.
Houston hasn't been a buzzed, next big thing sort of entity since 2005. Nevertheless, the scene defines an enormous state's image. It's our own fault, frankly, because very little has emerged with sufficient legs, lyrics or style to matter. Moreover, Houston rap is the shit.
Editor's note: This may or may not include the new Lil Flip, which is in stores today. It's the only major release of the week, hence the lack of a "Drops" segment.
The clincher is that Dallas native, B. Hardy, is a bad man; a student of the "rap your ass off and see what happens" school of rhyming/networking. The cerebral mic brawler was his high school valedictorian and has been ferociously grinding in the underground game for years.
