25 Hip-Hop acts to see at SXSW 2010

By CHRIS FARAONE | March 12, 2010

J the S
Formerly known as Jake the Snake, J the S hits Austin for the first time ever this year. Homeboy has matured immensely since moving from Boston to New York two years ago; his new mixtape, Wish You Were Here, showcases his role as one of hip-hop's chief intelligent hoodlums. Dude has a kaleidoscopic bag of cuts, too; if a 6th Street crowd happens to be full of chicks, watch him pop the clutch into pimp overdrive.

Thursday (3/18) @ TBA
Friday (3/19) @ Red Fez
Friday (3/19) @ Six Lounge (upstairs roofdeck)
