MoWii, Pee W33 and Bounc3 of the Los Angeles-based group The Rej3ctz hit the "RapFix Live" couch Wednesday (October 17) to talk about the success of their widely popular single, "Cat Daddy," which has spawned the latest dance craze. Before demonstrating their dance moves live on set, the colorful rap trio talked about the stigma and backlash rappers get from the industry as a whole for releasing “dance” rap songs, and then chatted about their new single "Solid" and the importance of voting.

“We do it because we love to dance,” Pee W33 told Sway on "RapFix Live." “We love to dance. We rap and we dance. We’re artists, we do everything. So if you don’t like it, oh well. Bite me. We are who we are.”

After telling Sway to swing, run, run, run, the collective spoke on their latest single, “Solid,” featuring West Coast legend Kurupt, and its message about the importance of voting. “Turn Up the vote,” Pee W33 told viewers. "Y’all turn up in the clubs, y’all turn up on the corners, y’all turn up in the parking lots, turn up the vote. If you are not old enough to vote, tell your Dad, Mom, auntie, anybody to vote.”

The California-based rappers explained that they want to use their status and voice as artists to push the very important message of getting out the vote. “We’re not telling fans who to vote for, but to be aware of what’s going on in the world.”

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
