Blackalicious
Blackalicious is in lab working on their next LP! Gift of Gab's new release drops on March 27, 2012!

In a hip-hop career that has stretched past a decade, Blackalicious has earned respect the old-fashioned way–rising through honesty, commitment, and artistry. Blackalicious is an American hip hop duo from Sacramento, California made up of rapper Gift of Gab (born Tim Parker) and DJ/producer Chief Xcel (born Xavier Mosley). They are noted for Gift of Gab’s often “tongue-twisting”, multisyllabic, complex rhymes and Chief Xcel’s “classic” beats.

J.O.B.
J.O.B.A Tribe Called Quest tale foretold that in the fall of 2010, four music legends would join together and fulfill a musical prophecy.. The men swore that together they could change the musical perception of hip hop forever.. Diggin in the crates for a little touch of that old school fury, Just Ova Broke is a cross-bridge between a live band set and a straight mc/dj set. Using samples to compliment their live band feel makes them a unique alternative to hip hop in any area. "A little bit of west coast flavor mixed with an east coast mentality demonstrates the different styles J.O.B. possesses, and gives a little foresight into the homage J.O.B. hopes to pay to it's many influences." -UNC Connection Magazine- They are always Just Ova Broke and J.O.B. is a concoction of everything that has ever influenced hip hop in a positive way.. The jams that make you wanna say "Fu-la-la-la" or "I'm cool like that" or "Can I kick it?". J.O.B. has had several opportunities to take their act out of Colorado (New York, Los Angeles, Houston, now Chicago) but have refused to leave until everyone here understands how important changing the scene in Colorado is to them. They love the C.O. and plan to represent Colorado's relevant, and intelligent hip hop for a long time. After opening for artists like: Redman, Murs, Devin The Dude, The Flobots, Guru's Jazzmatazz, Big Daddy Kane, Del Tha Funky Homospaien, Souls of Mischief, People Under The Stairs, Brother Ali and many others.. Colorado's finest is beginning to make a name for itself with their phenomenal live performances and intricate style of presenting versions of both past and present hip hop. J.O.B: COMING SOON TO A THEATER NEAR YOU!!

Turner Jackson
Turner JacksonTurner Jackson, a Colorado born, New York City bred MC is ready to lead the revolution. Nat Turner, a slave that led a rebellion rooted in the exploitative conditions of the southern slave system, is the inspiration behind Jackson’s moniker. The similarities are found, not only in the behavior of both renegades, but in the desire for innovation and change.
Coming from a proclaimed “new school m
entality,” Jackson’s aim is simple self-expression. Hailing from several cities in the east coast, Turner’s main influences are Wale, Styles P, Kanye West, and others that have ushered in a new era of lyricism.
Growing up with a minister father provided a strong understanding of gospel music. Albums like BBJ’s Universal Concussion, the quintessential “gospel rap” genre gave motivation to Turner to use his life experiences to enhance the art form.
A strong connection to speech and debate gave way to a deeper yearning to convey a message through the spoken word. A believe of purpose in all things, Turner says every rhyme is written to be rapped. Live performance is the strongest suit for this MC. 
Calling on the spirit of his namesake, Jackson believes, that like Nat Turner, the ultimate goal is to facilitate freedom with a higher purpose. Creating music largely in the Hip Hop genre, Turner says his major writing inspirations include Fall Out Boy, John Mayer, Lily Allen, and Taylor Swift, proving his versatility in musical thought.
“Music is about sharing thoughts and sending energy to another person. I am responsible for the message in my music, whether it’s that of destruction or positive impact.”
Acting as the personification of truth, Turner Jackson is the ultimate storyteller. Using his life experiences, combined with the revolutionary spirit of Nat Turner, there is no better example of life and its imitation of art.
