Solo350

[Spring Hill | Tampa] Big fella, bigger dreams. This MC has been hitting the local Tampa area stages since a very early age. With roots stemming from NYC, he met FEN Entertainment front man, Analysis489, when he moved to a small town called Spring Hill, before the promotions company was ever even a thought. Together, along with HeadKnokka Fam front man, Imagiin360, they headed up rap group after rap group in order to acquire and maintain a steady local fan base and following! As the years progressed, the three separated ways after high school, but reunited close to 12 years later, simply to pick up where they all had left off. Making music. With all of them set and primed in their distinctive corners of the industry, Solo has decided to team up once again to take the dying Hip Hop industry by storm.

In association with Matrix Music, Solo has just released Bully In The Sandbox: The B.I.T.S. Mix Tape, one of many albums with a Real Life Rap message. [Click link for the FREE album download.] With a mixture of "conscious rap" tracks and radio-ready tunes, he has become well known in his community, with a growing amount of fans that display nothing but support. With rap crews like NoS, IllaFellas, and EMS in his pockets... Solo's going to be a BIG problem for Hip Hop to deal with. Stay tuned.

Adriana Taylor

With Adriana Taylor’s ear for perfection and her sweet melodic voice, she is certainly getting the attention she deserves with the release of her first single No Boys. Much Music and MTV are currently promoting the official video and she is currently in rotation on both stations.

Adriana’s love affair with music started at a very young age, watching her parents in the entertainment business. Her father, a very promising singer, who sang on the Tommy Hunter Show for many years, and her mother, a model and dancer, who was featured in over 100 commercials and print ads, showed Adriana you can be successful and in control of your career.

Soon after moving to Calgary, Adriana got started in the #1 performing arts school in Canada, The Young Canadians. She was a member as both a singer and a dancer for 10 years, giving her 10 years of performing experience in front of more than 30,000 people. After leaving the school, Adriana’s hunger for performing grew strong. She started doing independent shows around Calgary. One of the first being the featured singer at a Charity Masked Ball for MS research. Adriana was getting her name out there and was asked to be the opening act for Ashanti, Eve, 112 and Blu Cantrell. Soon after, Adriana had a hit song on Kiss 969 in Calgary, called So Hot. Adriana then lucked upon a band called Black Mamba and started gigging Motown, R&B & Jazz covers. They gigged together for over 3 years, traveling all around Alberta. This took Adriana’s stage presence to another level, making it easy to perform for 10 people or 10,000 people.

Adriana took her career to the next level, moving to Toronto. She recorded exclusively at world renowned Cherry Beach Studios & executive produced her 5 song EP and her official video for her single No Boys. Adriana recently released her 5 song EP Before You & Me and is promoting it on iTunes. She is certainly making her mark in the Canadian music industry, with many more hits to follow.

Mecca

[Tampa] Born in long Island, NY and raised the majority of his life in Tampa, Florida, Latin Hip Hop artist MECCA started rhyming in 2001, influenced by none other than Imagiin360, and shortly became an adapting artist to the game; bringing the North-meets-South, East Coast-riding music along with that BOOM BAT hip hop appeal. "Hip Hop is more than music to me, it's a culture and a universal remedy for anything NOT right in the world - whether it be problems, obstacles, or burdens put in the way of my overall goal: to reach the climax of Hip Hop history's major juggernauts of the game. As a part of the HeadNOKKA Fam we've officially started the Revolution."

Regason

[Tampa] Born in 1981 in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, music has always been an influence growing up listening to artist like Hector Lavoe,Frankie Ruiz, and Tommy Olivencia just to name a few, the latin side of music was already a part of his roots. It wasn't until a few years later when his family moved to New York, that he was introduced to Hip Hop. Hip Hop changed him. He knew right then and there that's what he wanted to do. He began writing and perfecting his sound with the vision of creating his own style, which we know today as Regason - a mixture of English and Spanish rhymes with Hip Hop rhythms and Reggaeton fusions. It wasn't till six years ago, when he joined forces with the Headnokka Fam and became the Latin writer in the team, putting together records that would eventually break the language barriers.

The Stick Martin Show

The Stick Martin Show formed on the 28th day of the eleventh month, in the year 2003 AD. It was in the county of Pasco that they met... aahhhh yes, in the sunny state of Florida, three transplanted, musically proficient nomads met through tones unknown.

Mr. Stick Martin will ignite your brain lava with his lyrical genius, and he is sure to get you off your seat. This boy's from Frogballs, Pennsyltucky and he knows how to knock your socks on your ass, so look out!!!

Stick, fresh off the L-train circuit in NYC, moved to Florida - suitcase, guitar, and a BIG box of CD's in his hand.... And then a miracle! He met 2 of the coolest, most awesome, kick ass musicians:

Eric Harlow - He plays the bass guitar... with both hands. There have been many times, at many different places that people have said, in not so round about ways, that his 2 handed style is just as good as some others they have heard. (That could even include stuff that they heard on the RADIO! - Gasp!). He's from south western Michigan (just an hour out of Chicago).

Gerald Pilkey - Long legged drummer from parts unknown. He's a Florida boy, full of sunshine and good beats. He'll hold the groove down like you would not believe. He's like the sexy Mrs. Dash to Stick and Harlow's salt and pepper. He's like pop rocks and diet Pepsi, mang. Can you dig?

You can listen to some of his recordings here.
