TeachONE is an emcee who grew up in the Bay Area of Northern California. Even though he has been writing hip-hop lyrics since his early teens, he is only now at the age of 27 starting to put his music out there for others to hear. This new desire to be heard has come out of two things: First and foremost is the fact that Hip-Hop has been a lifelong passion for him, and eventually it was going to come out in a public way. Second, and probably more importantly is that as a teacher his goal is to lead and inspire through action. He is currently a teacher in what most peeps consider to be the birthplace of Hip-Hop, The South Bronx. He is fortunate enough to teach three subjects he loves with a passion; English, Social Studies, and the crowning achievement a class on writing Hip-Hop lyrics. As a teacher his goal is to model the drive and desire it takes to make it in Hip-Hop while still keeping the integrity of the art form intact.

TeachONE is humble about his skills, as he has spent much of his life pursuing many goals beyond Hip-Hop that had to come first. However, in his music you will find that his goals are clearly stated: Describe the problem, take the problem head on, and create a way to fix it. His goals are to improve the lives of people who live in what most people condescendingly call the "ghetto." A product of the "wrong side of the tracks" in a fairly affluent suburb, he makes no claims on being "ghetto," but his actions always show that he has a fairly strong understanding of the struggles of the people he works for and fights for. His first goal is taken on at the micro-level every day when he steps into a classroom in the Bronx as he strives to give students of all races, cultures, religions, socio-economic backgrounds, etc the opportunity to learn what it takes to succeed in a country where the odds are invariable stacked against those who do not fit the image of the "mainstream." His next goal is to use music to shine a light on what he thinks may be some of the answers to some of the most difficult questions we face on the Macro level.

Justin, aka Jay Dee Queue, was born and raised in various towns on the south shore of Massachusetts. After haphazardly requesting it, Justin received his first CD at age three: "Rat in the Kitchen" by UB40. It was love at first "hear", so to speak: this CD left a huge impression on him, inspiring a life-long love of reggae and music in general. At age eleven, he moved with his mother and step-father to Orange County, California, a move that would to some extent shape his multi-cultural approach towards his environment. After moving to Seattle in 2001, Justin experienced and explored the world via electronic music for the first time. After watching countless DJs spin at electronica dens such as NAF, Justin began to toy with making the kind of beats that he wanted to hear. He currently resides in San Clemente, CA, where he continues on his quest for musical contentedness. After years of working almost exclusively with Propellerheads Reason, he has finally learned to output the sounds and ideas that tickle his own "music receptors". The listener will find a strong reggae influence, specifically lovers rock and dub, with overtones of drum and bass, hip hop, blues, jazz, funk, and house. Though he is contented in and of itself by the practice of making music, he hopes that others may find some reflection of their own experiences in his vibes and words.

We are LT Henry.

We come from Stanhope so all your threats are empty.

We are fueled by hard liquor and a desire to create.

Eric and Alex make most of the songs.
There are other honorary members that never seem to be around when we want to record, either because they joined the air force or are at rutgers or something else entirely.

We were formed in 2006 in a basement during a night of heavy drinking near music instruments. We started to jam and while it sounded kind of awful we were determined. Later that year we recorded Azariel. It would be our textbook song.

In 2007 we had enough music to throw together an album. Songs for the Criminally Insane, it was called. Because you'd have to be criminally insane to listen.

We never stopped recording, and by September of 2008 we had enough songs to release an EP (That Fight Turned Into a Gunfight EP) and a double album (Night Falls on Sussex County).

It's 2009 and we are working on a new album. I don't think we'll ever stop making music.

Inf. PyInf. PyInfamous. The Realest Emcee on Record Audio. Whatever moniker is used to identify the prodigal son of Mississippi, the results on wax are the same. From mixtapes to full-length albums, Inf’s charisma, personality, and candor are always evident on a track.

The son of a DJ and a public speaker, Inf was destined to be a emcee since birth. His path down the arduous road toward hip-hop fame began in Crystal Springs, MS where he honed his skills through freestyle cyphers and battles. Most of the time spent in class during high school and college was spent writing songs and perfecting rhyme schemes instead of learning, and Inf, along with his two brothers – Joey Bunns and L. – were introduced to the music world as The Threat.

While working on mixtapes with the group, Inf worked fervently on solo material to create an extensive catalog of mixtape freestyles and complete songs. After returning home from a stint on the And1 Streetball Tour as the resident emcee for the truth campaign, Inf has chosen to pursue his solo career full force.

Inf has worked with producers from across the country and around the globe, making songs ranging from Southern crunk to classic East Coast lyricism without losing a bit of lyrical integrity along the way. The next evolution of emcee is here, and his name is PyInfamous.

Hello Everyone,
I am an independent Hip-hop/Spoken word Flowesist that uses a diverse multi-genre style with the goal to make my music universally embraceable to all lovers of music.

I use my music to push forward a movement that seeks to do three things:

1) Promote a musically artistic message of love, hope, and solidarity to all.

2) The empower others to be themselves.

3) To provide opportunity for others to engage and spread this message, as well as provide a healthy outlet to express the authentic self.

As an artist and an individual who desires to make a difference with my music; I have chosen to express my music through Co-founding a non-profit organization known as Major Movements Association Inc.

Major Movements is a grassroots based organization that seeks to stand as an artistic beacon of hope, empowerment, and ecumenical love to all.

Major Movements does this through coordinating charitable events that are based on music and other art forms.

I hope that any of my music that you are exposed to will encourage, enrich, and uplift you in your day to day life.
Authentically,
- Rhetorical Artz

Movements are never accidental. Today’s average music fan is so jaded from unfulfilled promises of “something new”, that most have given up hope entirely of Hip Hop music ever being truly relevant again. Thesis, Cheefin Editor, and Tony O; collectively, SpeakerBeaters, are a light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel. Seamlessly blending the iconic sound of Hip Hop’s glory days into a progressive and lyric driven soundscape, their music inspires optimism in Hip Hop’s future.

As in everything else in life, the beauty is in the balance. Cheefin Editor’s original compositions provide the sonic backdrop. Skipping over Hip Hop 101’s traditional sampling , he instead plays every note you hear, carefully choosing and placing sounds with a precision only found in an artist who loves his work. Layered over this backdrop he trades verses with Thesis, connecting lines and concepts reminiscent of the golden days of EPMD, Red & Meth, and A Tribe Called Quest. Thesis, a respected and decorated battle veteran showcases his cadence and songwriting ability, proving that the idea that a battle MC can’t write is a myth. Tony O’s perfectly timed and phrased scratches keep the vibe universal, and add the perfect amount of classic Hip Hop sound to the mix.

It’s true, movements are never accidental… destiny is nothing more than a vision, the hard work to achieve it, and the honesty to accept it. SpeakerBeaters are chasing their destiny, and every day another set of ears joins the race as the public discovers that Hip Hop is not dead… That music can mean something, and still make you nod your head with the beat. SpeakerBeaters are set to prove what a dangerous level of talent, will, and integrity can achieve… it’s not an accident, it’s a matter of time.

I'm a drummer/guitar player turned music producer. As a means to perform my tracks with artists when a band is not possible I became a DJ. With the added turntablism I've been able to come up with what i think is some very interesting stuff.

Urban music is the true cnn for the block. without the proper commentary formed from the eyes of the economically disadvantaged we would have been forgotten and left behind by a society that has attempted to silence us for centuries. motoe blizzid is the fire storm they never saw coming. we are the future leaders of the world, it is essential that our voices are heard.
true skool, deep music, thorough production combining west, east, and southern flavors. always trunk thump and danceable tracks with a gritty street appeal. topics range from crime stories and redemption, to club hoppin,
smoke filled sexcapades.
