Motion Sicks-ness
Odessa native hip hop artist on the rise in Austin music scene.

In West Texas - where God-fearing people live, work and don't want trouble, Justin "Dubb Sicks" White is the boogey man hiding under your bed with a microphone and a black bandana.
When you're not looking, his lyrics will kidnap you and take you to places you hoped never to go.
After all is said and done, you'll find yourself right where he wants you, standing in the aftermath of his seismic wit picking up the pieces of the inside-out and upside-down world you once loved.
And the 2002 Permian High School graduate will do all this with a clear conscience.
"If you're offended, it's not my fault," he said. "If you're offended, it's your fault. You don't have to listen to it, so if you get offended, that's your problem. The world is split up into people who disagree with each other, but if you truly get offended by somebody else, then that's something you need to check out for your own sake."
There's a few things in life I don't trust: penis enlargment pills, weight loss remedies, school buses on a Sunday and white rappers. He may be a good rapper but allow me to err on the side of caution. And if we were going to get a white rapper at SXSW why couldn't it be the Crank Dat Crabtree guy? Also, I knew the reporter's name sounded familiar. He worked at the DT after I left. I'd make some snide remark about how my UD was much better than the DT but I suppose having to live in Odessa is punishment enough.
