"this show was structured to be the opening ceremonies of hip-hop for this years festival..Statik Selektah and these 8 cypher artists are going to give you a 16 bar message revealing who they are as MC's and what they came to Austin to do..Jelly's set represents the artists and records who took their stories from the streets to the charts, all while creating and shaping the genre we love..the showcase set offers a multi-coast sampling spanning from West Coast's own Pac Div, through Chicago's Ghost Da King, landing on East Coast greats R.E.K.S. and Termanology. No honorable stage would be complete without a legendary headliner and their equally heroic DJ, so to satisfy all homage and feelings we're giving you EPMD with DJ Scratch..and cupcakes, yes there will be cupcakes". - S.West
