SXSW Hip Hop: Beans of Anti-Pop Consortium at SXSW Music 2011

Gloriously left-field alternative hip hop group Anti-Pop Consortium split in 2002, only to reunite five years later, continuing to deliver a uniquely eclectic brand of funky hip hop to the world. During the break, MCs High Priest and M. Sayyid worked together, leaving Brooklyn’s Beans to roll solo. Once Anti-Pop reunited and worked to release their fifth LP Fluorescent Black, Beans summoned his creative strength to record his own new solo release, End It All.

In support of End It All, Beans is hitting the road, touring throughout April and May, hitting up several cities throughout the country. Kicking it off, Beans will be at the 2011 South By Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival, held in Austin, Texas from March 15-20.

Beans will be hitting the stage on Wednesday night, March 16, for a Midnight appearance at Mohawk.

Check out Beans’ recent video release for “Blue Movie,” from his End It All release on Anticon Records. The song was produced by Son Lux, while the video was directed by Jon Leone.
