"I live it I love it I spit it"
 
Lyrical Perfectionist
I started in 1997, pressed up 500 copies of a single cassette entitled Swivelin' Doors. I made mad noise in the streets and it really dug me deep into the passion of making music... people appreciating it. From there in early 99, I released In Real Life, a beautifully marinated 13 song album. In May 2000, I was introduced to Mp3.com by a friend and by late 2000 the sophomore album Its in da Blood exploded on mp3 and held #1 Best Selling CD for almost 2 months. I made alot of $$$, gained alot of new avenues and really made a name for myself online. Tracks like UBU, I Live, I Love it , I Spit it and Paper n Paint were selected for various features and mp3 syndicated radio shows. The e-mails from record companies started coming in along with a lot of other offers but as of now no contracts have been signed. I am currently working on a 3rd Album, Muzicman, with various Mp3 producers and other local ones as well. This is gonna be something special. - L Perfex

 


Listen to Other Brothers
Other Brothers
Formed in '98, 'OTHER BROTHERS' is actually a collaboration of two solo acts, Steve Black and Daye Greene. Jerrold 'J' Hill was producing music for both artists and was the first to notice the connection. "They seemed to hit it off instantly," says Hill. "We would be at parties, or at the club, and these clowns would get to crackin' jokes and cuttin' up, and before long everybody would be laughing." Still separate acts, the two began critiquing each other's work. While their styles were completely different, Hill realized that their content was identical. "I would listen to these cats and realize that they would sound perfect together, almost a musical marriage. I realized it before they did." After a few collaborations, there was no separating them. Every song became a contest. Steve's lyrics versus Daye's delivery. Daye's abstract metaphors versus Steve's obscure similes, but despite the competition the chemistry was always there. Always tasty and often tasteless, 'OTHER BROTHERS' definitely has something rap music needs.

Listen to Non-Prophets

Non-Prophets
The Non-Prophets are a couple of straightedge disaholics who have nothing better to do than create amazing hip-hop. This up-and-coming hip-hop phenomenon is another branch off of The Secret Service crew and consists of big-nosed Joey Beats on production, and small-dicked Sage Francis on vocals. This duo is dangerous if for nothing other than their hateful animosity towards a mainstream culture that would never accept them no matter how tight they rolled their acid washed jeans in 8th grade.
