Brian Rose

Brian Rose is a hot new rapper/producer from South Florida. A distant cousin to Aaliyah by way of Barry Hankerson of Blackground Records. His styles are innovative yet industry toppling. His talents range from jazz to R&B to Hip Hop to just about whatever he decides to conquer. His street credibility is unsurpassable, as is his business ethic. Aside from being one of the sexiest new artists, he is definitely a formidable force to be reckoned with lyrically.

Icon the Mic King

iCON the Mic King - Catalyst of a Renaissance iCON the Mic King is not a movement. No one man is. Instead, he is the catalyst for a crusade much bigger than himself. A Renaissance is approaching. It’s a Renaissance linked to a culture that spans over a quarter century’s time. A generational art form, that rose to prominence in a well-documented creative surge in the late 80’s. A culture that achieved economic importance in the trend-minded upswing of hip hop’s popularity in the mid to late 90’s.

Wordsworth

As his name suggests, Brooklyn-bred microphone fiend Wordsworth is the epitome of a true Hip Hop wordsmith. At a time when the rap market is flooded with formulaic, cookie-cutter sensations who churn out fast, forgettable hits rather than solid albums, this Lyricist Lounge all-star is looking to the past to reinvigorate the present by recalling the essence of 1994 - when the beats were hard and emcees talked to listeners rather than at them about relevant topics they could relate to.
