During our time at south by south west we experienced a wide range of exciting experiences. One of the most memorable was captured on film for all the world to enjoy. Our last evening in Austin, and the sun was shining, while engaged in conversation with Steve Ganz (Principal Web Developer at LinkedIn) we were approached by a man claiming to be the only living Jewish Gansta rapper. After a brief conversation ‘Kosha Dillz’, was keen to showcase this raw talent and offered up a brief shout-out to some of the Fingertap crew if he could plug his up coming album, so what the hell… here is some gratuitous plugging!!
