Mentality is an 18 year old artist from Illinois who preaches a different type of struggle. While he began writing songs when he was in 4th grade, he didn't start to get serious until July of 2011. "Ever since I was 10 years old I knew I wanted to rap for a living". His style can be described as a deep poetic type who many people can relate to. He is far from the average MC and prides himself in that. Mentality isn't about the wealth, fame, or prosperity... he just wants his music to be heard by the world. "I know the music that I create means a lot to me and I just want other people to benefit from what I'm saying in my songs." He loves to tell stories within his lyrics and you can feel how much emotion he puts into each song. It is safe to say that he is a true dream chaser and will not let anything or anyone get in his way from achieving what he wants in life.

Quick Facts

Name: Bernard P. LaPinard Artist Name: FlySoli Birthdate: March 1, 1979 Age: 33 Occupation: Rapper Hometown: (Westside) Chicago, IL

Born & raised on the westside of Chicago, Soli managed to avoid falling victim of the city's violence by his love for basketball, drawing & listening to music. Wanting to "be like Mike," Marvel Comics & songs like Slick Rick's Bedtime Story, Ice Cube's Today Was A Good Day & "everything Pac & Bone Thugs" were major influences.

Soli (aka POHPIH at the time) started on his 1st mixtape, Everyday Struggles in 2007; a joint project with older brother "Dre" aka "Fly." Fly was murdered shortly after the making of the record's 1st single & the project came to a hault.

In 2011, Soli picked up the pen again, changed his name to FlySoli in memory of his late brother & is not holding back. In his 1st single, Breath of Fresh Air, Soli respondsto the violence in the city he loves with lyrics like... "Why is it murder that my race embrace? Just heard another n.... got shot in the face..." and... "Every chick I meet is in her motherhood stage, wit a baby daddy wishin he could put me in a grave..." Soli is not merely a conscious artist but as he like's to describe himself as, an "everyday artist" who writes what he feels at that moment & has little patience for being "labeled".

Matthew “Walks the Runner” Walker burst onto the independent hip hop scene in (2011) with his debut single and music video “Air Jordans and Polos,” and his single “Young Dick Vitale” has been featured on DJ Pain 1's mixtape “Painkillerz 2.” Born June 4th, 1988 in rural Wisconsin, (Walker) grew up on talented, lyrical underground artists such as Andre 3000, Talib Kweli, MF Doom, Slick Rick and many others, and these early influences can be heard in his work. (Walker) brings a breath of fresh air to the genre with complex rhyme schemes, unique subject matter, and lyrics that will make you laugh.

The music world is at a crossroads. In the face of shrinking budgets, the death of artist development, and music executives with no idea of what constitutes a hit record searching out the next YouTube sensation with a catchy hook and dance move in order to amass digital single sales it is time for a change and that change can be found in Houston, Texas native A LUV. While many artists have tried to break through despite an industry melt down, few have been met with critical praise and the applause for those that have has not been loud enough to sway the course of the current market. In an era saturated with upstart MCs all vying for the coveted status of “NEXT BIG THING”, the story of A LUV is a refreshing exception to the quick route for fame and success. One of the first artists signed to music executive Anthony Williams' W2W Entertainment imprint, A LUV is poised to become notable and excel where his contemporaries have failed.

A LUV began writing and performing at the age of 12 years old and began developing his craft and learning the basics of artistry that would soon translate into what many industry insiders refer to as the IT FACTOR. Raised in Houston, Texas A LUV‘s hometown would provide much of the sights and experiences that would come to shape his sound. As a young teen committed to following his dreams A LUV spent most of his free time creating sounds and songs that would lay the foundation for what his style has evolved to today. Taking from his favorite artists a love for powerful storytelling with an intense inner-strength, A LUV advanced from just singing and performing to writing his own music at a very young age, soon amassing stacks of notebooks filled with song ideas, rhymes and observations.

If his sudden christening by industry insiders and music fans alike as THE ONE TO WATCH shocked the haters, their doubts were quickly refuted when A LUV dropped his recent single "WATCH ME" an R & B summer anthem that has R & B and HIP HOP lovers singing his praises. 'WATCH ME" is not only A LUV's debut single but it also speaks to who he is as an artist and a person.

A LUV recently completed production on his debut full length CD project scheduled for a midsummer release properly titled "LOVE JONES" a fresh mash up of R & B and Hip Hop that is sure to captivate music lovers worldwide and establish him as a prime candidate for BEST NEW ARTIST during the 2013 awards season.

With early comparisons to some of the hottest artists to grace the music industry over the past decade and the distinct honor of being hailed as a blend of Chris Brown meets T Pain with a slight pinch of Trey Songz thrown in, it is a safe assumption that A LUV is poised to wake up a dormant industry and cement his name in this game and change the tide of the current music industry, swaying it in a more insightful, meaningful and passionate direction.”

I'm Michael Medall AKA M.I.C. born in Madison, Wisconsin. I've been in love with music for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a very musical family it wasn't a challenge to get heavily involved with multiple instruments. I've been playing the piano for a solid 8 years; as well as guitar, for another 8-9 years. I've also had a handful of years of experience with digital music production.

Modern Era Music is a gateway into a new realm of Hip-Hop music. Modern Era is a push towards a new generation of Hip-Hop. My efforts as an artist have been to expand the boundaries of the genre as we know it today. Of course mixing something together that applies to a wide variety of listeners. This isn't just about rap or hip-hop; this is music. I love to represent where I'm from and what brought me to music, and hopefully inspire future artists to follow their dreams and passions on their musical journey. This is my love, my dream, and my life. I've had the honor of performing and recording overseas for the last 7 months with MF Studios and TFX Productions. Now, with my return back home I know my travels have only began. Performing in both the United States and Europe has provided a very unique sound. This has derived from the influences I've been accustomed to when traveling from home (Madison, Wisonsin) to other countries/regions.

The Sun & Moon guide the life of the artist Clifton Beefy. His personality is split between the associations he has formed with daytime and nighttime. Torn between the light and darkness he is often a different person at any given point in a day. Beef's unpredictable nature has led him through a very unique and troubled life. One can see the progression and contrast in his first official mixtape - Chapter 1: The Sun & Moon.

J.R. Bricks, the Atlanta-based MC who The Source has called 'cutting edge,' is no stranger to triumphing over adversity.  Nearly a year after his highly publicized legal battle with the 'Waffle House' restaurant chain, J.R. Bricks has returned with a vengence, releasing his mixtape 'For all my underdogs' on July 14th.  His 16 track show-and-prove display of talent, which includes his infamous 'Waffle House' song, stays true to its title.  Bricks moves from hard-hitting lyrical excercises to radio friendly club tracks with infectious hooks seamlessly, displaying his lyrical prowess, paying tribute to his hometown in the track 'Florida song,' and inspiring listeners with songs like 'Go the distance.'  At the end of the mixtape, it is clear that though he is an up-and-comer, his fluency as an artist is enough to send him from the current 'underdog' label into the category of new hip-hop industry success stories.

Damone Rose aka Dae Dae was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on 11.2.1987. He started singing by the age of 4 yrs old. Music is somewhat hereditary stemming from his great grand parents, which is where it all began according to him, “it’s in my blood”. He states the only thing that separates him from his family is that, “I will not stop until I’m successful”. Beyond his family, he was influenced by several great contemporary recording artists such as the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, Boys 2 Men, Brian McKnight as well as Maxwell, just to name a few. He believes he has a lot to offer musically,” I think I can bring purity to the music industry. What that means is that, I’ve written and produced my own music. There isn’t many who can say that at my age.” In addition to being a songwriter and producer he also has other achievements. He plays several instruments including the piano, organ, drums and bass guitar. There is at least one issue with the industry that Damone would like to express. It’s a dislike of watered down music and artists lacking a true passion for the Art. But on the same note, putting things in perspective, he says “I really wouldn’t want to change anything about the industry because everyone has their own unique way of doing things; they have their own style and that’s what makes the industry versatile and so exciting”. Damone has worked with many local artists and producers. He is very hard working when it comes tohis music. He is passionate and takes what he does seriously. In his own words,” Music is my life, my air, my first love.”

Innovative, Exciting, Conceptual, Lyrical, Humorous, Motivational!! These are a few of the words that can be used to describe RoGizz, the artist and musician. After turning his love for poetry into hip hop music, RoGizz signed a record deal with Dreamworks. After moving to Los Angeles and witnessing many of the label's resources being diverted to other areas, he decided to gain a release and put out his own music independently through his self promoted company Gizz Entertainment. His first project was called Worldwide Domination Volume I. It was a compilation disk featuring other Chicago independent artists where he utilized his skill at connecting people and providing strength in numbers. Through a mutual friend, GIZZ also met his rap partner Pask-1. They formed a group called "Worldfame" and released a mixtape called "Cut the Games: Chi to L.A." to much critical acclaim. After that, RoGizz moved back to Chicago and went on to collaborate more with some of the most accomplished producers in the game: S.C., Streety Wonder, Paperboy, Tony Baines, Matt Hennessy, 110% Pure, Boogz, Sherm, Austin "Smooth" Nelson and Ekim Pahkwah. Currently, RoGizz resides in Miami and has released two more volumes of his Worldwide Domination series where he collaborated with artists from all over the country. The recordings famously took place over a Memorial Day weekend in Downtown Miami with all day and night studio sessions. These albums were titled Worldwide Domination II: The L.U.A.U and Worldwide Domination III: The Union. At one point, RoGizz sought to diversify his entertainment portfolio by stepping back from his own music to do management deals for other artists, mentor up and coming artists, establish a clothing line and pursue different philanthropic opportunities. His love for creating timeless music though has brought him back to the mic with his new project titled "RoGizz vs. Black Blago." In his own words, Rogizz stated: "This is one of my best works to date. I think it's very layered because of the elements it involves. I think people can definitely relate to the battle one may have between the good and evil inside us. It can be sparked by what we experience in our daily lives. Politics have a lot to do with the creation of our daily lives. Thats what I wanted to convey with this work." Poet, Artist, Producer, Mentor, Entrepreneur, Social and Political Activist, Rogizz all these...

From freestyles in the lunchroom as a Freshman in High School, to making plans to "Take Over The World" now at age 26, Chicago Hip-Hop artist Sycosis or SY for short, is one step to the left of the line for "ordinary rappers." Combining "Conscious Rap" elements with aggressive delivery, hard hitting punchlines, and solid production, Sycosis has a style that varies but a message that stays consistent. "My main goal is just to challenge myself to make something that I would want to listen to if I didn't know who it was, I try to challenge other artist to improve their creativity." With two official Mixtapes in the "Think Twice" series Sycosis set to establish himself as a legitimate professional with the 2010 release of the "Mostly Me" album. His new project entitled "Tri-Polar" aims to take that goal to the next level with the release of 2 videos for tracks "Best You Never Heard Of" and "Check 1,2". "This album you will see all different sides to me as an artist, aggressive, insightful, and easy going which is why I'm calling it Tri-Polar." Setting his own standards high, we can only anticipate what his limits will be if any in the years to come.

For example, I would be in the shower and just start freestlying like… Im in the shower for a half an hour, hopefully I have the power to scour my shampoo smells like a flower and tastes really sour… [Laughing] But it wasn’t until I received a fortune Cookie that said, “Use Your talents, that’s what their intended for.” Before I actually took making music seriously. After recording his first song titled “Stacking Up” Natrian quickly received 20,000 views on Youtube helping encourage the creation of more music. After just 3 months, Natrian was featured on many online radio stations and Hip Hop websites as a quick up and coming artist! Mixtapes Natrian has been featured on Mixtapes featuring the following artists Sean Kingston, Mims, Roscoe Dash, Drake, Estelle, Diggy Simmons, French Montana, Short Dawg and Guyana.

872 Gang is a Rap group from Madison, Wisconsin with the goals of being major artist and showing the world there talent. 872 Gang consist of two members Young Kaleem and Jae F. Freeman. 872 Gang started off as TSB soon later they thought of a more catchier name 872 Gang is code for TSB if you look on your phone on the 8 it’s a T on the 7 its an S on the 2 it’s a B. TSB started off recording with raquizey 3 years ago at his studio. Our first time recording was crazy because it sounded like we had been doing it for some time. Our first song was called Trend setta music our second song we did was called every hustle that was the starting point for us. Soon after that we started working on a mixtape called No pad no pen produced and mixed by us. Starting off we didn’t really have much we worked a commission job for the equipment we got.  After that point we began recording songs back to back and putting them out on myspace. We recorded a song a rap group named young duces and performed it at the June Teenth that same day we performed at a local party. About a year later we turned 16 and performed at the majestic that was our biggest show we have ever done. After that we continued to put out more music to build a bigger buzz.

(Yk) real talk I didn’t ever think I would be a rapper that was the last thing on my mind my pop got me into music soon I started wanting to do what he did because my dad is my biggest inspiration because he’s a hustler and he know how to work with nothing so that’s how I was brought up. Music is my life every morning I wake I listen to beats and just freestyle before I go to school or ma day not gone go right. Me and Jae not just a rap group we like brothers we started this together so we plan to make it together. (Jae) For me I’ve been rapping since I was like 8 so this is something I knew I always wanted to do. I started rapping by my self and at the time I didn’t know anybody who was as serious with their music as I was. Then I got up with YK after finding out he rapped after that we jus kind of took off and it went from there. I planned to get a lot of music done and just keep putting out mix tapes and hopefully some albums. We going to keep working hard and keep trying to be the best at what we do, you know it’s 872.

Qwote Mix Tape With DJ Fusion

There is something about male Pop singers that transcends something far more superior than your average mainstream artist, in the music industry. Even in the small cluster of today’s male singers, there have been few exceptions to those who appear to be on another level. This distinction is found in new pop musician Qwote.

Born in Haiti and raised in Long Island, New York and Miami, Florida this young pop sensation was destined for musical success. The imaginative singer has come a long way from being raised single handedly by his grandmother, “who held two cleaning jobs in order to provide for me”.

Qwote has been in love with music his whole life and at the age of twelve he started to pen his own tuneful lyrics and decided to do more than just listen to music, but to become an artist himself. With that decision being made Qwote took his own musical matters into his own hands and forged ahead in a full time career as a singer and songwriter, by working with artist such as Platinum selling rap star Trina on tracks such as “Don’t Want to Fight”, Danity Kane, Wayne Wonder, Shaggy and more.

Drawing inspiration from artist such as Sam Cooke, The Beatles Michael Jackson, Lenny Kravitz and more the young aspiring singer has already established his future goals and ambitions, “My goal is to create a new lane that can bring fresh innovative music that touches the soul and evokes thought, passion and creativity on another level.”

Qwote's first big break came when he was brought to work on rap star Trina's album by producer Steve Obas (Owner of Final Cut Music Group) who advised and mentored Qwote from the beginning of his musical career. While working on Trina's album at Slip n Slide Records music studio in Miami; Qwote co-wrote and Steve produced tracks for Trina, some of which broke on the radio in a few major markets, soon after his production with Trina, Qwote was approached by Slip n Slide Records label executives to lock in a major music deal.

When asked about his upcoming album, Qwote states, “I want people to understand that even though this is entertainment my lyrics do reflect how I really feel, felt, think and overall view the world, this is my soul…..that I am handing over on a silver platter and I hope the album will leave a classic taste in my fans minds, bodies and souls.”

“This album is all about me and my vocals, my lyrics and most of all my writing skills…”

The Haiti native induces a rare sound to music that separates him from other unparalleled artist. All grown up and the newest member to the Slip n Slide Records family, Qwote has landed a major record deal with Jive/Zomba Records and plans to release his debut album, which is set to be released in the Summer of 2008.

Qwote’s debut album entitled “QWOTE UN QWOTE” will mark as a return to authentic pop music, this album is yet another testament to the musical sphere. Through the ups and downs of his career, Qwote will teach us all that there’s a difference between following trends and recording classic, timeless music that will forever be relevant.
