Meanwhile, the heroes of the Iliad – Ajax, Ulysses, Achilles and the kings they serve - debate whether to return the dangerously beautiful captive Helen or continue to fight without end.

Party | Party: House of Phat Beats
Broadcasting out of The University of Texas at Austin (KVRX 91.7FM), DJs Lil Tiger (Otilio Jacobs) and Koolaid (Kari Orr) began the hip hop radio show House of Phat Beats in 1994. Modeled loosely after legendary '90s-era shows like The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show in NYC and The Wake Up Show in LA, the award-winning Texas radio show ran for five years and became a hub for local and national acts to network and promote their music. House of Phat Beats, along with its sister show, The Dolla Holla Show (KO.OP Radio), featured DJ sets, freestyles, battles, underground hip hop of the era, and guest appearances from Freestyle Fellowship, Souls of Mischief, MC Ren, Artifacts, Mystik Journeymen, 5th Platoon, Style Elements and more. A time-capsule collection of these moments are on display in our Gallery Annex beginning on July 1st. DJ Lil Tiger, along with some O.G. friends of House of Phat Beats, spin every Friday night this month in Lobby.
