KENDRICK LAMAR returns to SF2 in Houston

Posted on May 31, 2012 by ilovesf2

I never knew this video existed! And it was done by our guy Drew! So, here it goes!

Progress is necessary and it shows here. The first time Kendrick visited us was a fair turn out. This time, it was madness! Had to line fans up and let them in 10 at a time! Kendrick was amazing and stayed to take pics with every fan!

Shouts to our partners in crime Scoremore. As always, thank you Monster Energy for everything.

KICKBACK SUNDAYS returns to SF2 North MAY 20!

Posted on May 14, 2012 by ilovesf2

After taking a break this past Sunday to celebrate Mothers Day, KICKBACK SUNDAYS returns to SF2 NORTH hosted by The KICKBACK KILLA himself, Doughbeezy with a very special twist! We will no longer be at CLUB SUGARHILL.

KICKBACK SUNDAYS is the only platform for artists in Houston to showcase skills in front of people who can actually do something for you, with giveaways that can help you get the jumpstart you need!

Our friend and Kickback Sunday supporter, GO DJ MANKIND, will be in attendance to make a special announcement. A three week show and prove begins this Sunday and up for grabs is what we like to call: #RealResults

We are giving away a Mixtape hosted by GO DJ MANKIND of Swisha House. This is a full project complete with 400 hard copies, including artwork, insert, pressed up, ready for distribution (IF, you currently have songs, those can be included and built in to complete a full project).

ALSO, a Pro Tools set-up complete with software for the first place AND second place winners! I am sure, this is something an artist can use!

This can really give an underground artist the jumpstart needed to get on the road to success. And that is what KICKBACK SUNDAYS is about.

NO FEES, NO Door cover and re-entry fees, NO lies about who will in the building! IF we say someone will be there, they will be. A reputation of delivering what we say we will.

Same program, sign up is at SF2 NORTH at 3pm. We will also be picking artists from the crowd, so if you miss the sign up list, there will still be a chance to get in on the fun!

KICKBACK SUNDAYS Week #6 to open for Emilio Rojas

Posted on April 30, 2012 by ilovesf2

Last nights KICKBACK SUNDAYS was another one for the books. Besides the networking, SF2 Media Group teamed up with 24 HR Grind and Pairadime Music to offer an opening performance slot for The breaking Point Tour starring Emilio Rojas, which hits Houston this Sunday May 6 at The Engine Room!

We had 3 rounds of performances to see who would win. Round #1 went to @iamLyric , Round #2 went to @ETwatchMe and Round #3 went to @YoungGofOCP. All 3 of these artists have been attending KICKBACK SUNDAYS consistently and it shows! Picking a winner was not going to be an easy task, because all 3 put a little something extra in their performances tonight! Lyric really raised the bar with her performance. She showed that she was not afraid to stare you down and command attention, she had the crowd early on. ET shocked me, this was an entirely different guy than what I had seen in the previous weeks. To describe his performance as high energy, is not enough! Winner of the final round, was Young G. Every week, this guy gets better. I know this is not the last time you will see this name. Avery humble guy, but when he is on the mic, look out!

Doughbeezy put a twist on the judging tonight, it was not going to be from the roars of the crowd! You would not be able to scream twice! This was going to be accurate and you would have to SHOW everyone, who you voted for! GREAT! Let’s be honest and fair about it! KICKBACK SUNDAYS was built on the foundation of integrity, and we are always open for suggestions on how to improve and make things better! The room was divided in 3 parts and the winner was @ETwatchMe! He also earned our KICKBACK SUNDAYS shirt! Yes you gotta earn these shirts, not to be sold or given away! This guy travels all the way from Beaumont every Sunday with @verserecords , gets to SF2 North on time to sign up. No excuses for anyone else in Houston who has issues. Hard work pays off with #RealResults.

SUPPORT Kickback Sundays artist, @ETwatchMe this Sunday at the show! We have tickets at both stores.

KICKBACK SUNDAYS Week#4 – Winner to open for Curren$y

Posted on April 17, 2012 by ilovesf2

This past Sunday, week #4 of KBS, was probably the craziest Kickback Sundays yet! An opening performance spot for The Jet Life Tour starring Currensy this Thursday at Warehouse Live was the prize and after 3 weeks of show & prove, the final face off came down to 2 artists. What ended up happening, surprised us as well.

The criteria were 1) stage presence 2) crowd participation 3) image 4) content

We had various DJs, media personalities, promoters and producers who had given their opinions each week to who stood out based on the criteria. And then there were 2 artists left standing!

The artists were CITY and LUKE DUKE.

First up was a newcomer to Kickback Sundays, LUKE DUKE aka Who The Fuck Is That WHITEBOY?! He gave a brief speech about random things like the path to success and how he represented Texas, called the crowd to move in and got straight to it! Honestly, he was outstanding! When he performed “Marty McFly” the crowd felt it. He and his crew were all decked out in shirts with his “Who The Fuck Is ThatWHITEBOY?!” slogan and it was loud.

Next up was CITY, a Kickback Sunday veteran and no stranger to performing. CITY hit the stage and commanded the audience from the jump. He spoke to them and it was agreed that when he would hold up the mic, the crowd was to shout “Fuck that!!” So, the DJ dropped the track and he went to work. CITY was all over the stage, interacting with the crowd and when he held the mic up in the air, it was as if an explosion went off with “Fuck that!!”

Now the time had come to pick a winner. The crowd was going to decide and what happened next, was so unexpected and amazing at the same time. The host, Doughbeezy, asked for the crowd to cheer who they thought was the winner when he announced that artist’s name and to only cheer once. The crowd was waiting, Doughbeezy held his hand up towards LUKE DUKE and a deafening roar came from the crowd. Next, the crowd was asked for their cheers for CITY, another deafening roar came from the crowd. It was hard to tell. This happened at least 3 more times before it was realized, that something else needed to be done. Apparently there is an app that measures sound on a cell phone, so we tried it. NOTE: Those apps DO NOT WORK.

The fans for LUKE DUKE screamed out “Luke Duke” the fans for CITY replied with “Fuck that!!” It was obvious, that this could go on forever. Tensions started to rise and we had to take a mini huddle to decide what to do. We asked Mike Meegz of Scoremore (The promotions company presenting the Currensy show) to decide, he couldn’t! It was too close. Some people had suggested we did a cypher or have the 2 artists battle it out. BUT this was for a performance not a battle! It was then agreed there would be a coin toss, and the winner would get the performance slot for Currensy and the runner-up would get an opening performance slot for Devin The Dude at The House Of Blues on May 12th. WHAT!!!!! This was amazing!! This would mean that both artists are winners! Both are huge shows at huge venues!!

Doughbeezy commented that this was an opportunity of a lifetime and that these guys would remember this for the rest of their lives. That last year at Kickback there was a lot, but this was only week #4 and look what was happening! He asked the 2 artists if there was a preference since there would really be no loser. LUKE DUKE replied “I want the show with the biggest venue” and of course CITY wanted the same! Here we go!

The coin toss was about to go down! CITY said to Luke Duke “you pick” and Luke Duke replied “tails never fails” and the coin was tossed. About 10 people, including myself kneeled down on the stage, and what has to be the record for the longest spin that a coin has even taken in the history of a coin toss occurred! Finally it stops and CITY said ‘HEADS!!!” The crowd went nuts!!!

CITY had won!!! A bunch of screams, hugs, cheers, every emotion you could imagine was happening at this moment. It was a beautiful thing! Luke Duke was the first to extend his hand to CITY with well wishes. And CITY did the same, since LUKE DUKE had just won the performance spot to open for Devin The Dude at The House Of Blues. Both guys congratulated each other and were immediately bombarded with media and fans for pictures!!

Later on, we caught up with both artists outside the club talking and got them to pose for a picture holding up our KICKBACK SUNDAYS t-shirts, which by the way are earned and NOT given away or sold!

Like we say at KICKBACK SUNDAYS, its #REAL RESULTS. To my knowledge, I am not aware of any other program that offers so much to the underground (unknown) artist. Follow these guys on twitter @citychronicles and @LUKE_DUKE409 , and of course follow @iamSF2 @KICKBACKSUNDAYS @Wescoremore

Posted on March 29, 2012 by ilovesf2

After our first Sunday at SF2 North, where it all began in 2010, for obvious reasons we had to move the event to another location! We had decided to only do the first Kickback Sunday at the store because it was more of a reunion of familiar faces and we felt it was the best way to kick off the new season.

This Sunday, Kickback Sunday will be held on the at Club Sugarhill. The venue is a real chill spot and the owners are going to have Free Crawfish for the first hour! Doors are at 5pm and the event starts at 6pm. Its FREE to get in from 5pm – 6pm, after that its $5.

Special Guest, Platinum producer Cyfyre will be in attendance giving away a free beat to whoever shines in the cypher and also in a performance! Like we say at KICKBACK SUNDAYS…Real Results!

Same format:

1) Sign-up sheet opens at SF2 NORTH at 3pm

2) Event starts at 6pm
