Chris Crack – South by South Westside
Produced by Cutta I’ve always wondered how someone could flip SXSW into a cleverly titled rap song, and leave it up to Crackaveli deliver and overachieve. And Crack does so today with the very-dope “South by South Westside.” From Austin to Austin, it’s real. Synergy!
