 For Chicago Illinois 26-year-old rising star Flo-Gunna growing up on the Westside of Chi-town and doing music was a stretch in itself but one he had no control of. “I feel destined to perform music. Most of my lyrics come to me in my sleep. I know how crazy that sounds but its true. Flo describes his own music as Captivating and youthful while at the same Innovational and Symbolic. “Hip-hop is about stories” Some of those stories can be meaningful but still be fun. I never chose a song that I can’t relate to in some shape or form. My music will always reflect who I am.”It is Gunna’s hope that his music will provide him with a way to give back to his community. “Chicago is in somewhat dyer straights. Not jus musically but in the overall life of the city. Anyone who gains a certain amount of stature leaves. Especially in the entertainment industry. There is nobody here to look up to. Role models and philanthropist are rare here, and its starting to effect the children which I hav...

Gilbert Green (November 28, 1986) better know by his stage name BARRELZ DA BEAST. Born and raised in a single parent household, the oldest of 3 children in Philadelphia “Uptown”, PA. Growing up in a single parent household wasn’t always easy but one could say that considering some of the trials he experienced as a child he was still a “good” kid. However things changed as he grew into young adulthood, although he was always a major fan of hip hop, always wanted to be an entertainer, and had a love and a passion for music his love and attraction to the  “street” life was far greater. The love of the “streets” outweighed his love of music and as a result he served 5 years in state prison for drugs and weapons. It was during that time that he decided he needed to make a better way for himself and his family, because his family was and has always been his top priority.  While in prison, he created a plan, steps he would take upon his release so that he could become a “productive...

"Who is Eric Wilson ?", one might ask. Eric Carlyle Wilson Jr. was born, raised, and still resides in Cleveland, Ohio. He is one of the city's most sought after hip hop producers and he is very respected as an emcee. Defining his style can be a bit of a challenge since he incorporates styles from all of the regions of the U.S. and beyond. His eclecticism is very obvious as the rhythms and melodies mix and mingle to eventually grab all of the attention of any person that understands and feels the power of hard urban beats and well-composed tracks. It is also apparent that his brand of Midwestern production is definitely a creation of no one else's because of the complex, multi-layered applications of easily distinguishable instruments, such as guitars, pianos, and strings. Being that his musical influences include Dr. Dre, Rakim, and Quincy Jones, his material conveys a feeling that the music was made to reflect the intricacies of himself and not just to be rapped ov...
