If you live in Austin or have been to the city for a visit, concert or festival there is no doubt you’ve been in the presence of SprATX‘s work. Established in 2013, this art collective has been painting the walls of the city for years — from the infamous Graffiti Wall on Baylor Street, to installments at events like X Games. This gem represents over 20 local artists and muralists that through their work keep Austin beautiful. Tonight is the grand opening of their gallery, a new collective space for the artists, as well as a shop for supplies, apparel and original art. The party starts a 6 p.m. and goes until 10 p.m. with live art, live music by DJ Chino Casino and tons of supplies, magazines, prints and art on sale. Check out the grand opening event today, or stop by another time at their E. Cesar Chavez location to buy some art for your collection and support these local artists.

In December of 2011, The Internet blessed R&B with other-worldly music in their debut album Purple Naked Ladies. Since then, Odd Future alumni Syd the Kyd and Matt Martians have been giving us soulful sounds with members Patrick Paige, Christopher Smith and Jameel Bruner. The Internet’s headlining tour follows the release of their third studio album Ego Death. Leading up to the album release, The Internet teased fans by releasing the singles “Girl” and “Special Affair,” both featuring the mesmerizing vocals of Syd to accompany beautifully orchestrated instrumentals. Their four Texas stops will include opening performances from Moonchild, St. Beauty and other artists that compliment the celestial sounds of The Internet — like Milky Wayv featuring Bobby Earth from Houston.
Grab your tickets for one of the upcoming shows below, and stream The Internet if your ears have yet to be blessed by their etherial sounds. You can purchase Ego Death on iTunes.

A month ago, Kirk Knight dropped the first single, “Knight Time,” off his upcoming album Late Knight Special. Shortly after we got to hear “Goodnight,” a track featuring Joey Bada$$, Flatbush Zombies and Dizzy Wright. This week, Knight gives us another track off the upcoming project titled “Dead Friends.” Featuring gut-punching bars by Noname Gypsy and a killer guitar solo courtesy of Thundercat. The title of the song and the dismal, personal lyrics fit perfectly with the dark tone of the album. Knight raps the chorus: Every time I feel alive I think of dead friends, the rest are just dead to me. His album drops Oct. 30 and is available for preorder on iTunes. Check out the track below and peep the links to upcoming shows Kirk Knight has with The Underachievers.
Bryson Tiller was previously a name reserved for the depths of Soundcloud, but the new R&B star is changing that with his debut album Trapsoul, which dropped Sept. 25. The 14-track debut resembles a faster paced PND, with crooning auto-tune, solid beats and plenty of feelings. Tiller’s popularity is steadily rising, and his album has gotten props from others in the industry like Syd from The Internet. It’s an impressive debut project. Check it out for streaming and purchase on iTunes.
Really enjoying this bryson tiller album

It seemed like the queen of rap already had it all. An upcoming game, true love and the hottest hip-hop tour of the summer. But it didn’t stop there. Today ABC Family announced that Nicki Minaj will be producing a comedy hosted on their channel. She’s not only producing it, but starring in the half-hour series that will be based on of her life in Queens. The single-camera show will start production this winter. If you’re not kind of freaking out, please see yourself to the door.
