Dawn Richard Performs "Change" & "Novacane" At SXSW [VIDEO]

Dawn Richard was among the many performers at SXSW, but I'm sure she gained a number of new fans when she blended her new song "Change" with Prince's "I Would Die 4 U" and performed her remix of Frank Ocean's "Novacane." at Cielo. Dawn's new EP Armor On is set to hit iTunes on March 27th!

Skyzoo - Rap Like Me [Music Video]

Check out the Cam Kirk directed music video to "Rap Like Me" below, which features footage of his trip to Austin for SXSW. Quick work!

A$AP Mob Gets Into Brawl At SXSW [VIDEO]

Last weekend, A$AP Rocky and the rest of the A$AP Mob performed at the VICE Loves Texas showcase in Austin. Things were going great until one of the members had a green bandana stolen from his head. Moments after the rag was returned, something was thrown at the stage hitting another member of the crew. Rocky kept his cool until another fan threw a bottle onto the stage, launching the whole crew to come off the stage.

Last night, The FADER Fort was The-Dream's battleground as he performed a 30 minute set with an incredibly dope live band. The crowd was a lot more receptive to him than I thought they would be, and they knew every single word to every song he performed, which spanned back to "Shawty Is The Shit" to his new material from Love IV.

Shady 2.0 SXSW Showcase With 50 Cent, Slaughterhouse, Action Bronson, STS, Don Trip & The Foodchain [Live Stream]

Fuse has really been on point with these live streams. Sure they won't compare to the actual SXSW experience, but the fact that you can still watch some of the biggest shows at the festival for free is a great alternative. Tonight 50 Cent is performing Get Rich Or Die Trying in its entirety for the first time ever, right after Slaughterhouse, Action Bronson, Don Trip, STS and Food Chain take the stage. I'm most excited to see STS rock the stage tonight!

AMEX Sync Show: Jay-Z Live From SXSW [Full Concert]

Last night, YouTube live streamed Jay-Z's SXSW performance at Austin City Limits. I was in my room dancing and rapping along like I was there, and what I loved most about the show was his set list, which included some of my favorites like "Allure," "I Know," and "Heart Of The City."

What I found disappointing about the show was the complete lack of energy from the audience who only seemed to know the hook to his biggest hits. The Hip Hop shows haven't really gotten underway at SXSW so there was a noticeable absence of true fans. But if I was front row at a Jigga concert....

Anyways, Yardie recorded the live stream, which is key considering that YouTube doesn't allow you to watch it on your on terms. It just replays the stream over and over again. Parts 1 and 2 after the jump!

Nas Talks SXSW With VEVO News [VIDEO]
