::WHITNEY PEYTON:: (Buzz Records, Philadelphia)
If artists like Machine Gun Kelly, Eminem, and Missy Elliott had a pale love child she would be just like Whitney Peyton. W.P. is a unique emcee, with a firecracker personality, hailing from the outskirts of Philadelphia, PA. Beginning close to home she became, and still generally holds the #1 spot on The Hip Hop Charts on Reverbnation.com in Philadelphia. Her continuous drive has also gained her several nominations (and wins) at the Lehigh Valley Music Awards (PA) for categories including "Best New Artist", "Best Lyricist", "Best Live Performer", "Best Female Solo Artist" and "Best Hip Hop Performer" from 2010 through 2014. Just recently Whitney was nominated in the 2014 Tri State Indie Music Awards (PA, NY, NJ, DE, MD) for "Emerging Indie Hip Hop Artist of the Year" and won. Equipped with catchy hooks and relatable rap verses, she is the top voted unsigned artist in her home state on MTV2's "On The Rise" contest and has been interviewed and played on numerous independent, college, and online radio stations. With no label or management, the rapper has also landed various TV spots, swept the pages of multiple magazines and music blogs internationally, as well as accumulated over 1 Million+ total YouTube views for videos on her channel.
With an undeniable stage presence, W.P. has performed with well-known acts including Kid Ink, Jadakiss, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, Sheek Louch, Hopsin, Rittz, Big K.R.I.T., MIMS, Tech N9ne, DEV ("Like a G6"), Paul Wall, TWIZTID, R.A. the Rugged Man, DMX, and many more!. She has collaborated on songs with Bizarre (of D12), Cassidy, Gangsta Boo (formerly of Three 6 Mafia), WAX, Spice 1, Daddy X and Dirtball (of Kottonmouth Kings), Layzie Bone (of Bone Thugs N Harmony), Spectacular (of Pretty Ricky), and the list goes on!
Despite her edgy image and attitude, Whitney was chosen to be one of the faces of Philadelphia's "Unlitter Us" Campaign in 2010. TV spots for the campaign aired city-wide (and in surrounding areas) through 2011 on stations such as MTV, BET, Vh1, Comedy Central, ABC, and NBC. Whitney was featured using her rap ability in a spoken word poem she wrote about cleaning up the city streets. She also appeared in print and transportation ads, while additionally being seen alongside Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter at anti-litter rallies, and community events.
Whitney's undeniable stage presence, and growing fan base earned her spots on both a full Canadian tour with Twiztid as well as a 40-date USA tour with rap legend, R.A. The Rugged Man (of Nature Sounds), and Potluck (of Suburban Noize) in 2013. Despite her many hard-earned accolades W.P. still considers herself an "Underdog" in many ways. Having achieved so much independently, with an image not easily associated with hip-hop, it's easy to tell that her fans appreciate her home-grown attitude and "Team Underdog" movement. After releasing several free EP's in the past she just dropped what she considers her debut album, "On The Brink," this past January 31st, 2014! If this biography is your first time seeing the name "Whitney Peyton" keep your eyes open because it won't be the last.
::DUECE BUG:: (Fuck Your Rice Records/ Connecticut)
This August, following the 2014 Vans Warped Tour; official Warped Tour performing artist dUECE bUG will be setting out again along the east coast for the post-Warped 'Full Blast Summer Tour'. With his refreshing, positive blend of rock, hip hop and edm, performing live with his rather unique drum set-up, dUECEs electrifying performance has impressed crowds up and down the east for 3 years straight. Stemming from his roots and 8+ years as front man for hardcore/metal bands (the most notable being Blacklisted) dUECE brings the energy of his rock past combined with his passion for hip hop culture and percussion to present a live performance never to be forgotten. (Please see attached epk for full resume and info)
Since the release of his album MANTIS (Handsome Money Music- feat. Sid Wilson of Slipknot, Cappadonna of Wu Tang Clan, Ceschi +more ) dUECE bUG has completed 5 tours- including the 2013 Vans Warped Tour and the most recent East Coast Movement tour this past March. Gearing up for his second consecutive Warped Tour run this year, the Full Blast Summer Tour will cap off an epic season for Duece and his group- the Full Blast Movement.
Full Blast Movement is a movement in every sense of the word. "We got the mass behind us - With a master plan because the mass designed us."
Full Blast is a lifestyle, an extension of underground culture. Some of the states top hip hop artists combining forces with local graffiti crews, artists, musicians, businesses and fans alike to create a movement of people representing reality. The movement is not held down to any specific genre and often collab with musicians and djs from other genres in an attempt to break the barriers of the underground scenes. The Full Blast movement was created to bring the people together, somewhat out of frustration because of poorly attended hip hop events, but also because it was time to expand. Once they started throwing their own events, the wave formed and eventually turned into a tsunami that a good portion of CT and beyond were riding proud. Since then, they have been packing venues all across CT and have brought in artists such as KRS One, Mr Lif, Blacastan, Jacobi Wichita, Apathy and more.

::REESE:: (CORFU/Dub C/DE) Reese thrives off of his versatility and his energy. His music is good for any situation; it'll get you thinking, dancing, crying, and throwing up your middle finger... depending on what you hear from him.

If i owned a diary , my entries would follow a sixteen bar format. All my songs come straight from my heart and soul. Speaking on the trials and tribulations of growing up around drugs and surrounded by violence. From the dark depths of a hellish rock bottom, to the freedom of living life and learning to love. Take a look through my eyes.....this is my story.
Been writing rhymes since 13. In 2006 , was part of a group called Reversible Taktiks with emcees B-Lamb and Judge Jewelz. After that I went thru ups and downs with people and the politics of the game. Here I am now...spilling my guts. Bringing you that raw,gritty, 90's feel hip hip. I just want you to feel me, know what I mean. Open your eyes, open your ears and listen!
Highly acclaimed for their effortless stage presence as well as known for being one of the most influential rap groups hailing out of Delaware, First Faction has consistently delivered that original "in your face" sound only they can create. Respected as heavyweights on their own, rappers Live Jones, King Leo, and Marv Apollo, each bring their unique flair as they come together to prove three gods of rap are better than one.
