I showed you the ugly side of Hurricane Ike, now here’s the other side — some of Houston’s most famous residents, including Chamillionaire and Trae, getting their hands dirty to help the city get back on its feet.
More pictures after the jump.

Devin is a good dude on and off the mic. He’s definitely one of the most under-appreciated MCs to ever breathe on a mic and I never miss an opportunity to show my support. I really wanted to crash his show tonight, but Hurricane Ike had other plans. I’m not even sure they’ll go on with the concert, since the feed on my TV now loudly declares “all Houston events canceled.”
Judging from the words of my boy Shea Serrano of the Houston Press, Z-Ro’s Crack just might be as intoxicating as the title suggests. Shea and several others were given a taste (excuse the pun) of the Crack last night at Dave & Buster’s.
Here’s his incredibly entertaining and incisive take on the Crack listening session.
Chamillionaire - “Internet Nerds Revenge”
Man, this was way too funny to listen to. From the song title and subject matter to Cham’s vocal inflections and biting humor, Koopa went in on this one.
Chamillionaire has just released the tracklist for Mixtape Messiah 4 to whet your appetite for the much-anticipated mix CD. In line with previous installments, MM 4 is light on guest features but heavy on heat rocks. Peep game.

Chamillionaire - “My Life” (feat. Trae & Slim Thug)
Koopa, Trae, and Thugga spitting some heartfelt lyrics over Game’s “My Life.” No matter how many times you hear it, it’s always refreshing to see these guys come together and share a moment. Houston hip-hop is slowly but surely witnessing a revival, ladies and gentlemen.
Trae and Mike Jones have simultaneously released public statements and apologies in an attempt to put their recent altercation behind. I particularly like the fact that Trae’s apology came along with the above picture. In case you’re wondering, that’s Trae holding up the proclamation certificate Mayor Bill White handed him just 3 weeks ago.
