Music has Died
The hip-hop/rap world has never really been the same since the passing of two of it's most reknowned artists; Tupac and Notorius B.I.G., were laid to rest before they could reach their full potential. Many have come and tried to pick up where they had left off, but have not attempted to take their efforts to the next level. Much of the hip-hop or rap you hear today is virtually the same, and it seems like this genre of music has been at a stand still.
Until now...
Ladies and Gentlemen, the month of December not only brings winter and Christmas, but also brings the first realized effort at bringing a new life to the hip-hop/rap world.
Please support us in our efforts to inform the world that hip-hop is alive once again.

Hip Hop & Punk Rock
As I'm sitting here drinking my 5th cup of coffee, waiting for A-Cat to get to the studio, I got to thinking about something. There are 2 different genres of music that many would probably consider to be at opposite ends of the earth, Rap and Punk. But really, what I've realize is that these two are very much a like. Both are about going against the grain and creating a sound that is different from all other types of music, all types of punk rockers and Hip Hop artist will be told more than once that their music "sucks", but will continue to make it regardless, why? because more than once they will be told that their music is awesome. The radio is filled with pop, country, oldies and even gospel, you hardly hear rap or punk on the radio. (no girls, solider boy is not rap, and simple plan is not punk) yet both of these genres continue to build huge fan bases underground and have survived this way for a long time. Maybe the styles of music are completely different, but the passion of it is almost the same.
