G SIDE〈Huntsville, AL〉
The story of G-Side is one that begins in the small town of Athens, Alabama. As a group Clova and ST 2 Lettaz have been rapping together, inspired by a place they call the Gutter side of living, circa 1999.In 2004, G-Side teamed up with the Huntsville music stable, Slow Motion Soundz to embark on a career that has taken off like the rockets and the industry for which Huntsville is best known. In 2007 G-Side was thrust to the forefront of the Slow Motion roster to release the well received “Sumthin 2 Hate”. Backed by the production of the Block Beattaz, G-Side was on their way to carving a path for themselves and those that believed. It wasn’t until the 2008 that G-Side was seen on a national level. This in part came from a feature on the Diplo helmed “Fear and Loathing in Huntsvegas” and the critically acclaimed “Starhshipz and Rocketz” that G-Side was introduced to a world that didn’t exist in their minds or their vision of the way and its power.

SKEWBY〈Memphis, TN〉
This young artist started 2010 off with a bang, opening for the Lil Wayne Farewell Tour. This should be no surprise however after the rave reviews of his recently released mixtape, “Proving You Wrong Since 1988. Blogs such as Ill Roots and The Smoking Section tagged Skewby as an artist that revives “real hip hop”. His music is compared to the likes of a Kanye or Lupe, but he can definitely hold his own with his clever lyrics and catchy beats. One only has to peep the mixtape to get a feel of his versatility.

FREE SOL〈Memphis, TN〉
FreeSol is a progressive and unique hip-hop, rock, and soul infused band from Memphis, Tennessee. They started in 2003 when the lead singer/rapper, Free, decided to move beyond the basic hip-hop formula of “two turntables and a microphone” and formed an actual band with the addition of Elliott Ives on guitar/vocals, Premo Danger on the keyboard, and Kickman Teddy on the drums. Growing up surrounded by the rich musical landscape embedded in Memphis’ history, Free Sol is naturally influenced by a variety of sounds from blues to rock to hip-hop.

VONNEGUTT〈Atlanta, GA〉
Here’s an unlikely recipe: Take classic emcee skills coupled with evolving lyrics, add pop sensibility with a dose of rock dynamics and stir. What you get is something the literary legend surely never thought he’d be a namesake to. Vonnegutt. 2008 saw the band spending the majority of their time working in the studio with producers Simon Illa (D. Woods, Manchester Orchestra) and Billy Hume (Lil John, Ludacris, Rehab), solidifying their lineup with the additions of Patrick Postlewait (bass) and Taylor White (drums), and following in the footsteps of Killer Mike and Janelle Monae by signing a deal with Big Boi’s Purple Ribbon Entertainment record label.

THE COOLIN’ SYSTEM〈Nashville, TN〉
❝The Coolin’ System might just be one of our favorite new bands in the whole city. Their tight, instrumental funk workouts were so good… it’s pretty obvious that this band thinks solely about the tunes.The System were tight, rocking a groove that recalled the brighter, bouncier vibes of Chicago’s late-’60s pop-jazz scene that allowed the band’s top-notch musicians to shine on their solos without ever distracting from the songs.❞ -Nashville Scene 11/12/09
