Nitason



I was born and raised in a small town in Kentucky.There are many very talented people in my family who inspired me to do music. I grew up singing with my mother in the church choir, and singing with my uncles at family events. As a teen, I started writing rap music but I later grew fond of RnB. My inspiration comes from older groups such as the Temptations & Stevie Wonder, & I can also relate to the modern artist such as Usher & Chris Brown. I love many different genres of music. On any given day you may find me listening to country, rock, or even classical. My love for gracing the stage and performing live began with doing local talent competitions and showcases. As I grew older, continued hard work and dedication led to bigger events such as opening for National artist like Tank, Avant, Jagged Edge, & Mary J. Blige. I released a digital album last year titled “4 The Love Of Music” & I am currently back in the studio working on a new project. There are two things that I strongly believe and always enjoy sharing with people. One, you should always be yourself no matter what, don’t change for anyone. Two, music makes the world go ’round, stop and look at how many parts if your life involve music!

NTG Yungin


Javan Kitchen JR (Born May 04, 1990), known professionally as Yungin , is an American rapper from Columbus , Georgia. Javan  was bestowed the nickname Yungin  by his older influences. Growing up in poverty he quickly learned how silence in the streets would play a key role is his latter career. Yungin was raised by both parents  Ms. Voncile and Mr. Javan Kitchen Sr. But both parents were in the street heavy causing him to man up and step up for his siblings 3 sisters and 2 Brothers  (RIP JODI DE) .

 

While in school when he would go he played football and recreation basketball and baseball creating a outlet for the pain within. Music was always near Yungin and while growing up he would always find himself listening to Juvenile, T.I, Lil Wayne, Future, Rick Ross, and Bun B all these artist become major influences in his career choice in music. The birth of music took place in 2002 with a group called Jack Squad the CEO at the time Rio grabbed him out the street life an showed him another way out the hood which was through the music .

 

Yet still life had other things in store at the age of 15 he was charged with Armed Robbery and went to trial and was able to beat all the charges against him. He ended up going right back to the streets  in turn landing him right back in jail for Aggravated Assault in which he allegedly shot at a man. That very bullet almost cost him his entire life. While in jail he had not only time to think and revaluate his life he had to come up with a game plan he was now a young father a blessing in the form of a baby girl birthed while incarcerated. Yungin, only 16 at the time was not able to be released from jail, and his baby was unable to meet her father until her first birthday.

 

It was not until 2009 that he would then began to apply himself solely to music. That is when he met Zay professionally known as  King Zay formed the group Brick Brothers and dropped their first mixtape entitled FREEGRAMS hosted by DJ Trap & DJ Sun Valley.  The year 2012 birthed the hot single WATUP DOE  prod by Hottrod which would not hit airwaves until 2013. The Single made it's way to  Foxie 105 & 98.3 the Beat where it began to attract fans and supporters. Yungin has released numerous singles  while also contributing to a number of features  and compilations all while being a great father to four amazing children.   

 

 He is truly thankful to all the people around him. DJ Ookee and Flake G played roles in his musical career while under Renegade Muzik, they still remain close and in contact. He also appreciates his  extended mentors and artist that support him. More then just a mentor Yungin and artist 1-Hundred not only worked on singles but 1-Hundred also played a major role in his career.  He has also worked with artists such as Spodee, DBH Dip, Cho Rambo, and more. Yungin  is set to drop summer 2017  with his first ever solo project entitled #TheyCallMeYungin. As his mentors have previously done, Yungin has placed himself ahead to win as the CEO of No Talk Global, LLC started in early 2017.

C-Blaq A.K.A. Blaqboi

Born and raised in Columbus, GA, C-Blaq aka Blaqboi has lived and breathed music his entire life. From playing the drums in church to producing beats, it was only natural for Blaq Boi to eventually pick up the pen. Although Blaq started out rapping with groups like Da Crew, KFC and Tre Trill, in 2008 he dropped his first solo project "Southern Gumbo", followed by No Flex Zone in 2011. In 2012, C-Blaq started his label Cho Chase Entertainment, where a roster of artists such as Team Cho Chase and Scrap Nation call home. As time went on, the increasing severity of social issues, as well as his attendance at the Million Man March anniversary in DC, inspired C-Blaq to begin his #Blaq series, which consists of several albums that highlight issues within the black community as a result of poverty, racism and police brutality. The first project in the Blaq series titled "The Blaq Experience" (2015), garnered large amounts of attention to C-Blaq's profound lyricism and industry level song composition, while still speaking to the concerns of the black community. After mentally preparing his fan base to delve into these social issues, in 2016 C-Blaq followed up with "Blaq Royalty", whose album cover photo was taken at the Million Man March anniversary, and shows a young boy sitting on his dad's shoulders with a RBG Flag waving in his hand. These albums can be purchased or streamed at www.chochaseent.com, or they can be found on Itunes Google Play, Spotify and Tidal. Be on the lookout for C-Blaq aka Blaq Boi's next project, "Blaq Legacy", which drops on Black Friday of 2017.

T Shawt




Terrence Short, also known as T Shawt, was born on November 2nd, 1990 in Columbus, Georgia. As a child, T Shawt grew up within an area referred to as the “Mid-side,” which was infested with drugs, guns, and alcohol. This negative environment influenced him during adolescence to make poor decisions causing him to be placed in and out of jail. The struggles T Shawt has endured throughout his life resemble the obstacles other artists, such as Lil Boosie, Tupac, Yo Gotti, and Young Jezzy, have faced and later conquered. The commonality T Shawt shares with these artists he admires inspired him to pursue a rap career.

Sikz



Born Corey Baker. NY based...GA raised.
I began my musical journey at the age of 9, only testing the waters as an aspiring rapper. Even though I had the blessings of my peers, I didn't have an identity within my genre...It took my heart out if it.Putting it to rest,
Later I found myself dancing between R&B and Hip Hop. Eventually settling somewhere in the middle.lol
Bouncing from singing quartets to rap trios and labels...I found home in my solo artistry,finally.
Pulling inspiration all the way from my deep old school roots to my some new school Flav,such as..... Twista, tech N9ne, Boyz II Men, Boosie Collins, early No limit/Cash Money, Crucial Conflict, Field Mob, Devin The Dude, Pac, Isley Brothers, Okays, Brat, Audio Push, Joyner Lucas, DMX, Hit Boy, Busta Rhymes, Bun B, Jagged Edge, Creed, Guns & Roses, Aerosmith, 30 Seconds to Mars & Em...And alot more.

"Music is life for me", Sikz.

My walk with my music has had some ups and downs, nothing that I would do over,though. All the way from gaining 2 proclaimations from the city of Columbus,GA(Exit21) to sharing the stage with the likes of Rich Homie Quan,Future, T.I., Young Dro & Gucci Mane to name a few. 
Still a student in the game, but self aware of my worth and my words.....Now only to make you #BELIEVE

She made her debut with The Wake Up mixtape in 2010 and ever since has been on a journey of becoming one of the top female emcees of our time. Nikki performed her current single produced by Mazik Beats, called “Road Trippin,” at SXSW in 2014 and it’s proof that she is on the rise to stardom.
Let’s take it back for a minute, in 2011 Nikki generated a huge buzz with the release of No Beat Iz Safe mixtape and because the emcee was so focused on the grind, 2012 became an even bigger year for her. She headlined her first performance at the SCMC Maybach Music Seminar in March of that year. That April Nikki took another huge step towards greatness when she opened up for Da Baddest B*tch Trina in her hometown Columbus, Georgia. The good news didn’t stop there, her hit single “Motivation” was dubbed Top 10 on the UK Internet charts and the track was featured on Spotify as the top tweeted songs of the month.
Continuing to show up and show out for Georgia and the south; Nikki then dropped her 2013 mixtape The McKnight Files. The project boasted the singles “Sky’s The Limit” and “Motivation,” which rotated on 98.3FM The Beat & FOXIE 104.9FM in Columbus. Nikki is closer to her mission to be ranked amongst female rapper greats such as Eve, Trina, Nicki Minaj, and Rapsody. In 2014, she opened for Trick Daddy and again for Trina in 2015.  Nikki was nominated for a GA Music Award for Best Female Hip Hop Artist of 2015.
Still on her path to make her name known with the who's who and where's where's, Nix blazed the SXSW stage again in 2016 and was also in the official A3C 2016 artist lineup.  With each year, she's gaining more and more buzz around her name and will sure to make her mark in the game very soon.
Nikki’s music is creative, honest, and always from the heart as it progresses over time.

Nikki is clearly a beast when she hits that booth, she pours it all out on the track and caters to people from different walks of life.
