ReCap of Texas Rap Fest
‘It’s always BIGGER in Texas!’ is a phrase Texans know all too well. However, ‘It’s always BIGGER AND BETTER in Texas!’ seems more appropriate. History was made October 26, 2014. Forty-three artists, 7 DJs, and guest appearances all in 11 hours and on ONE stage…”Yes, we did."
Let me introduce you to the 'mastermind’s behind the mayhem.' Texas Rap Fest was presented by Mr. Tony Draper of Suave House and Mr. William Green Jr. of Kountry Boy Records. What started out as a birthday party with some live entertainment, turned into the most elaborate concert Texas has ever experienced. These gentlemen brought in artists from the DFW and Houston areas ranging from independent to mainstream. Everyone was a superstar!
The Texas Rap Fest was a HUGE success! Not just from an artist’s perspective, THE FANS LOVED IT. Didn't hear one negative comment from them. Only artists that hail from the great state of Texas were asked to perform for this elite event. It was surreal!
J-Kruz from 97.9 The Beat and DJ Papa Ron set the Texas Rap Fest off with a bang while DJ Michael ‘5000’ Watts and the Geto Boys sealed the deal. Legends lined the stage. All involved really put forth great effort and passion to create such a memorable experience!
We heard from artists such as: Jay the Prince, Red Carpet Boyz, XO, Big Hud, Dat Boi T, Dro Fe, Polo da Prince, Aggtown Ambassador, Doughski G, Dustin Cavazos, Yung Nation, Bentley Green, Papa Reu, Lil O, Big Poky, Slim Polk, Chingo Bling, Quint Black, Kottonmouth, Treal Lee & Prince Rick, Lil Will, ESG, Big Chief, Fat Pimp, Big Tuck, Big Mike, Lil KeKe, Dorrough, Lil Flip, Mike Jones, Z-Ro, Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, Bun B, and the Geto Boys.
On the 1's & 2's: DJ Papa Ron, DJ Kayotik, DJ Do Right, DJ Steve Nice, Michael '5000' Watts, DJ Quick Mixx Rick, DJ Reeve, and don't forget the DJs that tour with the artists!!

The energy felt at the Texas Rap Fest was electrifying! Great music, great support... It can only get better from here. It will take events like this help put Texas music on the map. However, it's up to the artist to keep that momentum going.
In the words of William Green Jr. “I said let’s do something that’s never been done before. Let’s put all the Texas guys together in one place, on one stage. Let’s make history.” And that my friends, it how it all began!
