“I made my way back to Hotel Vegas for the rest of the New Orleans showcase, arriving to see Dee-1 on stage performing “I’m On It”. I heard a lot of people in the audience talking about how much they liked him and how glad they were to find out about him—hopefully they’ll all their friends and spread the word. Dee-1 was clearly glad to be opening for Mannie Fresh, and he rapped Cash Money lyrics while everybody waited for Fresh to arrive. Best though was hearing him recite parts of Juvenile’s “Ha”.

After Fresh took the stage, Dee-1 kept a mic to act as hype man, rapping along with Fresh on “Still Fly” and performing “One That Got Away” along with him. I’m obviously biased and I haven’t seen more than 10 shows yet, but it’s the best thing I’ve seen at South by Southwest so far.”
