BAMBU is a father, MC and community organizer. Raised in Watts, he experienced a life other rappers have glorified, but rarely experienced. As he navigated through a turbulent youth, Bambu turned around the destructive energy that surrounded him and poured it into making music. His music is a tool for a larger goal – to reach and support youth who face the issues he did, and move them to question what goes on in the world. visit bambu.la

POWER STRUGGLE is rapper Nomi accompanied by producers Mister REY and Fatgums. Spitting raw insight with a grimy Midwest flow, Nomi represents hard for those who live under the fingernails of society, yet celebrate life with every breath. Power Struggle reflects the life and times of workers, students, hustlers, artists, immigrants, revolutionaries, rejects, failures, redeemers and dreamers. visit Artofficialfreedom

OTAYO DUBB After two records with the acclaimed hip-hop group Co-Deez and another with The CounterParts, Otayo Dubb is going solo. ‘Tayo defines his sound as “Blue Collar hip-hop for the Joe Dubsacks out here who like to light up a fat one and get their headnod on after work.” Molding a style that lives between the lines of conventional hip hop, he describes his rap style as “thoughtful, but not preachy… a little bit of conscious, a little bit of street.”

THE COUNTERPARTS (T-Know, BraelanB, Otayo Dubb, Gammaray and Fatgums) are a meshwork of MCs, producers and DJs that create authentic, down to earth, true-school hip hop. With Parts residing in both the Bay Area and Los Angeles, this Cali all-star crew provides a distinctive Golden-State sound that resonates nationwide. visit CounterPartsCrew.com ________________________

BWAN is a Bay Area emcee with the caliber of a magnum revolver. Projectiles of a universal style of spitting lyrics bust-off with each bar that is dropped, leaving a transparent scent of gun powder. A one-man army, he continues to lick shots for social change. You are not about to witness an assault on the status quo, but the cold-blooded massacre of the system. Keep your eyes on the smoking gun.———–
