Explain who you are for those who don’t know
Who I am: My name is Chad Nelson and I’m an up and coming 16 year old rapper from New Jersey.
How did you come up with your name?
My name: Unlike most new artists in today’s age, I don’t like hiding who I am behind a stage name. I decided to keep my stage name my real name in hopes of showing people who I really am through my lyrics and unique style of rap.
Where are you from?
Where I’m from: I was born and raised in Trenton, NJ, and moved out at age 8 and I now live in Burlington County, NJ.
Whats it like growing up where your from?
Growing up in NJ: Fortunately I was raised in a better area of Trenton/Hamilton where violence was not as prevalent, and eventually when my parents and I moved out life became a bit easier, and I am forever blessed to have grown up with parents who have kept me out of harm’s way.
How did you get into music?
Getting into music: My path towards music is unlike most stories, and I’m happy because it can somewhat separate me from most artists. I started writing music as a joke in 8th grade, using remixes of famous songs to make fun of teachers, friends, political figures (in jest of course) and it caught on and people liked my natural flow and ability to write clever metaphors at a young age. When I got to high school, I never had the same desire to continue writing until early Freshman year when a kid from a rival school wrote a diss towards our school. Me being the idiot and know it all freshman rapper, I decided to write a diss back. It’s funny because only like 50 people actually heard it. It wasn’t all that good, but people seemed to dig my rapping so I held my head high for a while. Then during that same year I heard a song that inspired me to write again and it took off from there. I started telling people I was dropping a mixtape but no one took me seriously. But then once it dropped in August 2016 I opened a lot of ears and eyes. Then I topped it off with several SoundCloud singles and my major project “Written Scriptures 2.0” which dropped on iTunes and Spotify and currently has a 5 star rating out of 23 reviews. Blessed is an understatement..
What makes you different than other artists?
What makes me different: My ability to write music using clever metaphors, storytelling, clean verses and catchy hooks, I believe, make me an artist that can hopefully be recognized. I respect all those who are famous and putting in the work and time and make it big for what they represent, but I feel that most music, specifically our beloved trap artists, does too much of degrading women, drug talk, etc. I understand and appreciate the fact that our culture as a whole is changing with time, but I also feel that our society, in general, has lost what rap is really about sometimes. Not a statement of fact, but it’s just how I feel, and you can hear it in my music if you pay attention to detail.
What are you currently working on?
Current works: I just dropped my first EP “TwoThirds” this past June and I’ve been hard at work on my 2nd official album in which the name of it is to be determined. I’m hoping the next project brings every piece of music I’ve ever put out come full circle, and shows people a brutal sense about who I am, what I represent, and how I truly feel about life’s many topics. I can’t wait to complete it and share it with the support group that I currently am beyond grateful to have.

Explain who you are for those who don’t know
I go by the name jvibe I’m 19 I’m just a chill person I stay away from trouble or things that might bring negative vibes towards me
How did you come up with your name?
I’ve been thru a couple names but I settled with jvibe , my first name start with a j and since
I’m such a chill person and I have and like good vibes I just decided to put the J in front of the Vibe.
Where are you from?
I’m from a small city called fort pierce in Florida. It’s nothing to do here unless you’re into sports or music and work. Like any other city driven by low income areas we deal with murders from time to time drug dealers such and such and I think that’s why I focused on that or at least try to focus on that in my music to shed some light to our situations not enough recourses and dirty cops
Whats it like growing up where your from?
It was pretty rough but it was good times also . Everyone knew each other we’d gather on Saturday’s to watch football games because that’s what brought the city together. I think growing up here made me into the person I am today because it motivated me to want to do better seeing some of the friends I grew up with playing football with either in jail or dead I think that gave me a new look on life
How did you get into music?
I first started singing around the house, I was very shy to sing around anyone until my friends that I grew up with started coming over to my house and we’d freestyle stuff and I’d start singing in front of them I was in 4th grade at the time. My brother was the one that let me officially record something with him . He told me to write something so I got out a pencil and a piece of paper and started writing ” I hop out the shower and I’m looking so fresh yes going to the mall and I’m looking so clean ” for some reason that’s all I can remember. But that’s where it started. Growing up I had parents and grandparents that listened to oldies and mostly r&b greats so I took a liking to Michael Jackson I studied the way he moved the notes he sang everything’s basically. It wasn’t until my 10th grade year I began to get serious with music I wrote songs on top of songs that I later didn’t get the chance to record because I had no money or access to studio equipment. That following year I recorded my first official song it was a remix to lil yatchy one night it sounded horrible lol i later deleted but it made me realize how much power you have to create art with sounds. I put out a ep a couple months later and then followed up with another ep which I didn’t feel comfortable with and deleted them. Where I’m at in my music right now I’d say is different because I’m more into boom bap /soulful/hip hop/r&b
What makes you different than other artists?
I think what makes me different from other artists is I don’t make music for money or potential fame , I do it because it makes me happy I could have two people listening to my music and I’d generally appreciate it . Don’t get me wrong I’d love the spotlight but I just don’t really care about it I want the listeners to hear what I created and maybe be inspired to be something or do something. Another thing that sets me apart I don’t too much care about the flashy jewelry or expensive wear I think I shouldn’t have to wear all that to prove to anyone I’m doing big things or I have money
What are you currently working on?
I’m constantly working on new music currently I’m writing a new single about my life in my city and my love life , with this new song I hope whoever listens to can relate to it
Anything you would like to say?
I’d like to say that if you see an artist support them take a few minutes or hours outta your day and support your local artist or any underground artist for that matter listening to music on SoundCloud is free I’d also like to say thanks for hip hop revival for giving me an opportunity to share my story

Stay tuned.
Explain who you are for those who don’t know.
We are First Class Music. We are 3 brothers. Skyy Phreshh (artist), Scottie
Phreshh (artist), And Julien (Juice)Haygood (project manager). We are just
some young men motivated to express what we go through in our
everyday lives and capture that via songs and visuals and other aspects as well.
We Try to tell stories, but also keep the audience tuned into the musical aspect
Of it also. We released our first single “Mary J” in September of 2015 then we
Dropped our first official project “Peace To the Gods” in June of 2016, that
helped us get a lot of major local blog write ups and shows and also helped us
get a nice size buzz in Milwaukee.
How did you come up with your name?
Skyy Phreshh came up with the name one day just politician. There was a
different name, but we had to change it because it didn’t represent who
we were as Indivisuals, so we switched it to First Class. FirstClass is more so a
mindset than a Name for us, like a lifestyle.
Where are you from?
Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But we live in Ohio.
What is it like growing up where you’re from?
Milwaukee is cool. Super versatile. There are underground chefs, videographers,
Skateboarders, photographers, and promoters. Milwaukee is filled with
untapped potential. Our fans/supporters are the shit. We call them the “Pylots.”
How did you Get into music?
We’ve always been into music our whole live, all different types of genres, and
we have always been rapping and writing songs since we were in middle school,
but then we started to take it more serious and started to organize everything
and that’s how we became First Class.
What makes you different than other artist?
To be honest We are just ourselves, that’s definitely a question that we would
like the viewers and supporters to answer tho.
What are you currently working on?
Well we just Dropped a video to our single “PUER REGES”. We also have another
video/short film “Hell On Earth” set to drop pretty soon. Also a Brand New EP
“PUER REGES” also set to drop soon as well. We are also working on a couple of
Movie Scripts, some Beverage Ideas, some car ideas, house appliances, a little
bit of everything to be honest, just trying to do as much as possible to set forth
Something kinda positive light for the world.

Get to know N8TE below in our exclusive q&a interview with him
Explain who you are for those who don’t know..
A. My name is Nathan Bradford. Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. 21 years old. Pretty chilled guy who likes to have fun. Like to laugh and make others laugh. A positive person and hardworker. I keep to myself a lot and not the loudest in the bunch. But I’m a person who’s willing to help you in any situation and always there for friends and family.
How did you come up with your name?
A. Nate is my nickname. Didn’t really wanna pick a name that didn’t mean anything so just went with a name everyone around me knows me as. I made it N8TE to make it a little different.
Where are you from?
A. Milwaukee, WI
Whats it like growing up where your from?
A. It’s tough. The crime rate, violence, drugs is serious here. Milwaukee, WI has been getting a lot of attention the past couple of years for that. I didn’t grow up in the best neighborhoods around here and didn’t get into the streets like most kids around here are. That’s not me and never will be. It’s more out there then the street life that Milwaukee needs to see.
How did you get into music?
A. I’m a music head. I listen to mostly anything from rap, rock, reggae, r&b & etc. So the music I hear influences me all the time. Freshman year in high school (2011) I recorded my first song with my older brother who’s a rapper also goes by Picaso Jetson. People I was playing it for supported the song so I got the confidence to make more music and turned out to be something I like to do. I use to sit in school or at home just writing to see what I can come up with. Now I’m older I’m really focusing in on the music and Tryna become as good as I can and learn from other artists.
What makes you different than other artists?
A. Being me makes me different. I have different situations, different thoughts or even being in different environments from where I’m from. Everyone is different. I don’t copy people because of a hot sound. My music is gonna come from whatever’s in my head at the moment and whatever beat I like. I don’t go for a certain sound. I just let it flow and come out.
What are you currently working on?
A. Right now I’m focusing on single records. I am very new to being a artist. I wanna put out different vibes to express my difference in my artistry. A full length project for me is not in the works anytime soon. I wanna build people into getting to know who I am and what my sound is.
Anything you would like to say?
A. “My Ex” will be my next single dropping. It features Breana Marin. Song is a very smoove vibe that many people who’ve been in past relationships, heartbreaks will understand. My music is gonna come from everything I go thru or observed. Being true in my music will give people a better understanding on me and hope I can grab the ears. More music will be coming soon…
Explain who you are for those who don’t know
What’s good y’all, I go by Cyphaa aka SamuraiCyph or that one fly samurai, which ever is dope
How did you come up with your name?
I got the name Cyphaa because of all the freestyle cyphers I used to get into with my boys back in high school. We would skip school alot of times to light up, throw a beat on, and just rap for hours. I fell in love with that shit, the whole cypher vibe/feel meant a lot to me. That’s hip hop man, so I decided to run with it
Where are you from?
I’m originally from Queens, NY. Jamaica Queens if you want to get technical. I moved out to Orlando, FL at the age of 16 and been here since. I ain’t complaining, Orlandos dope.
Whats it like growing up where your from?
It’s pretty rough where I’m from originally in Queens. I got into a bunch growing up out there as a kid, you know how it is running the streets younger then your supposed too. Built my stripes and what not. But Orlando, man Orlando ain’t no joke either lol. Me being from up top, I came thinking things are sweet. It has its beauty, but definitely lives up to it being the ‘dirty’ south. They get live out here lol.
How did you get into music?
I got into music in 08 actually. I was really big into listening to freestyles and shit. Really big into listening to cats zone out and go off. Moved out to FL and met a few dudes in school who were really out here freestyling. So, I linked up with a few of them and started joining in on the cyphers they would have in the backyards, or school yards, wherever we was at at the time. Fell in love with the reaction and feelings people got from hearing me. From then on I fell in love with the realization that I can create a vibe that can affect each and every person that comes in contact with it a different way. That shits priceless .
What makes you different than other artists?
I’m not here to be like/sound like /act like /talk like /please etc , ANYONE. I’m here just to bring my own sounds, vibes, and waves to the table. I don’t focus on other artists. Don’t get me wrong, im huge on music and new/old artists, and I respect them greatly, but I’m really here just trying to generate my OWN type of vibe for people. And those who rock with it, I do it for them. Everything else is irrelevant to me at this point.
What are you currently working on?
I’m currently working on a collaboration tape I have with Creamaveli3600 and the GTBPG movement, & also Mackk Glee$h and the 1upWorldWide movement. It’s gonna be pretty lit, make sure to stay tuned for the release date to that.
Anything you would like to say?
I wanna thank HHR for talking with me. Huge s/o to my SKROLL label mate FrankDollaZ, the whole GTBPG (Creamaveli3600, GTB Sayce), big ups to my bro Mackk Glee$h and the 1upWorldWide movement. Make sure to follow me on social media, much love to all y’all out there supporting us artists really out here grinding. #ItsASKROLLThing
