- Has Been Featured In These Places So Far:
In a constant effort to help build the music community in Dallas, Green Room Productions &
Warner Brothers/Reprise Records are proud to announce their First Hip Hop & Rap Artist
Showcase. This is a great way for local Hip Hop and Rap Talent to showcase for the
chance to be submitted to a major label for review. It generates a great buzz and helps build
our local Hip Hop community, sometimes overshadowed by the mainstream industry.
The lineup for the first showcase has been selected and it will take place on Thursday,
February 19th at The Gypsy Tea Room - Deep Ellum's premiere live venue. The
artists performing are as follows:
Slumpmasters
Bavu Blakes w/ D-Madness
Strange Fruit Project
Headkrack
Steve Austin
Boogieman
The evening will be hosted by musician and filmmaker Tahiti, and Gobodo will provide music
between sets.
The quality of the submissions was very encouraging and there are plans to continue showcasing
local Hip Hop talent through Green Room Productions & Warner Brothers/Reprise Records in the
very near future.

Bio
Steve Austin the Bioniq MC is a Louisiana born and bred Dallas-based
rapper known for his undeniably precise, versatile lyrical flow laced atop the
attention-grabbing, body-moving beats and hooks that have become just
two of his trademarks. Standing tall at 6'5½", the toned, stylish Austin is as
readily distinguishable in person as he is on a verse. Austin's smooth
delivery tinged with his unique southern perspective and flow, flawless
production, passion, and relentless energy both on and off the stage
have facilitated his opening for countless renowned artists including
Outkast, Run DMC (1996/2000), DMX, Jay-Z, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, David Banner, Chico DeBarge, Bonecrusher, Twista, and Biz Markie, among others.
Also highly regarded as an impeccable professional mastering/recording
engineer, Austin has contributed to solo and collaborative efforts of
K.N.E.S. a/k/a Jelly Johnson, Money Waters, Pikahsso, Missy Burton,
G.Y.L.O., South Side Boys, Bavu Blakes, Al Lyric, and many more through
his company, Bioniq Labs.
Austin's releases include a series of successful mix tapes (Unleash the
Beast & Let the Monkey Out Vols. I, II, III, IV, & V; His Stint As Hollywood Cole The Jugganaut), and the upcoming album
800
LB. Gorilla (March 2005) in addition to a host of mixtapes and albums
produced by other artists.
The Southern University graduate holds a masters degree in physics and
is Cisco-certified in network engineeering...
"Steve Austin's Bioniq ability may be the uncut, raw, hip-hop you've
been wanting for so long."
- RAP SHEET Magazine
"An immensely energetic performer, the charismatic Austin has the type
of commanding flow to garner respect from the heads, and the type of
bangin' club anthems to heat up the joint and have the freaks flock to the
pole."
- DALLAS OBSERVER
"Steve Austin is one of the fiercest MCs the region has ever produced."
- GROOVELINE Magazine
Steve Austin believes supremely in his ability to bring the noise to the masses. "It is my time to show the world what I can do. When I UNLEASH THE BEAST, when I let the 800 LB. GORILLA loose, you will all bear witness to the most potent force in the hip-hop world for today and for years to come."
