Hot 93 presents “Hot Summer Jam” featuring Bun B, Slim Thug, Trae the Truth, Rob G, and many more at the Travis County Expo Center on Saturday August 15th, 2009.



In a long line of blockbuster concerts brought to Austin by FM radio station Hot 93, this year’s edition of the Hot Summer Jam boasts a cavalcade of Texas rap superstars, including Bun B, Slim Thug, Trae the Tuth, Rob G, Lil Keke, Paul Wall, Mike Jones, Tum Tum, DJ Michael “5000” Watts, OG Ron C, and Pimpin' Pen. Many More TBA.


On the heels of 2005’s break-out single “Still Tippin”” by Slim Thug, Mike Jones and Paul Wall, Houston rap went on quite of run of heightened popularity. Thanks to subsequent hits including “Back Then” by Mike Jones, “Sittin’ Sidewayz” by Paul Wall, and “Draped Up” by Bun B, the world began to take notice of not just a small handful of Lone Star rappers but an entire state filled to the brim with hip-hop talent.



Bun B, originally a member of Port Arthur’s UGK, continues to persevere beyond the passing of his longtime collaborator Pimp C. Bun’s recent appearance on the song “Grey Cassette” along with Trae the Truth and Lil Keke has graced Austin radio airwaves the past few months with the exact sort of DJ Screw-inspired music that Texans have come to worship.



Meanwhile, Slim Thug sports a current radio staple titled “Smile” that is as charming as could be expected from 6’6” of gruff monotone. And fellow Houston compatriots Paul Wall and Rob G refuse to be left out of the fray with their current singles “Bizzy Body” and “Always Be Down” each vying for position on Hot 93’s nightly request chart.



The Travis County Expo Center , located at 7311 Decker Lane , reaches capacity at 9,000+, so the 2009 Hot Summer Jam expects to be a party of grand proportions. All tickets will be general admission and go on sale Thursday July 2nd through http://www.showclix.com (1-888-718-4253). Tickets start at $15 while supplies last.

Hot Summer Jam to Roll Out Red Carpet for Destiny by Design Students


The promoters of this year’s Hot 93 Summer Jam have extended an offer of a lifetime to students of Kealing Middle School’s Destiny by Design afterschool program. Arrangements have been made so that on the afternoon of Saturday August 15th, 2009 a limousine will pick up eight Kealing students to be taken to the Travis County Expo Center. Once there, the kids will have the chance to meet headlining rap artists including Bun B, Slim Thug, Trae the Truth, Paul Wall, Mike Jones, and Lil Keke and learn what goes into preparing for a major concert. By show time that evening, the kids will be granted access to their own special VIP seating at the front of the arena.

For students working to establish future careers in the music industry, this privileged experience should provide a world of insight and inspiration. As Pimpin’ Pen, an opening act on the Hot Summer Jam bill and the primary sponsor of the kids’ involvement with the concert puts it, “You know, we're not just sending the kids in a limo, we're trying to get the kids involved in the whole process and show them a little bit more than what they may have already learned in the Destiny by Design program itself. They're going to get to learn about the sound and lights from the folks over at Big House Sound, the whole production aspect of the show, then meet with people from Hot 93.3 and some of the artists. They've already got a real inside look into how the music goes from this idea in your head to actual music on a cd. I think it's important to take it a step further and show them what it all looks like once that aspect is finished.”

Tickets to the Hot 93 Summer Jam are available through http://www.showclix.com (1-888-718-4253). For more information on the concert, visit http://www.Hot933.fm and for more information on the Destiny by Design afterschool program, visit http://www.myspace.com/narcissebanks .
