In this months's episode of BTS, I focus on 3 artists from the great State of Texas. Erykah Badu, one of my favorite artists of any genre; The D.O.C., a hip-hop pioneer and instrumental architect of both Southern and West-Coast Hip-Hop; and the man who made the "Country Rap Tunes" style a signature of Hip-Hop, Pimp C! Let's listen and talk about about some of their greatest songs!
