Funk drum cadences have for a long time been a part of the Memphis cultural landscape.

This cadence was played yesterday at the Whitehaven Classic high school football event.

Austin hip-hop crew The League of Extraordinary G’z is on tour with Dead Prez, and stopped off in Memphis as they were driving from a show in Lexington, KY to one in Houston, TX.
