And when the beat started Angel Haze was sure to produce the fire that instrumented and produced the music we love so much today. Her favorite phrase "I say that I'm the best because I am," proving that day by day each time she writes and records. Over the past two years, Angel Haze has nearly become a household name as well as an automatically suggested Google phrase. “Who do you know that did it in a year, with no discovery?” For Angel, the most important thing is making it to the big leagues with little to no assistance. “A lot of my friends don’t understand how I’ve attained such a big buzz over this short period of time, I think the thing people neglect to realize is that this is my life. “Music is my life. I’m going to do whatever it takes to be heard, nothing less.” It is her drive, determination, and actual talent that set’s her aside from the acts of today. Granted the game has changed more than once since she’s entered into it, she still wants to be one of, if not the only female “lyricist” rebelling against all the frivolity hip hop has become. At only 19, she’s an immaculately captivating extremely hard act to follow. 2010, her self proclaimed year, watch what she does with it.

K’Jon is best known for his #1 hit single “On the Ocean” from his 2009 debut full length major album “I Get Around”, which debuted at #1 on the R&B album charts! According to the New York Times, K’Jon’s album was “One of the years most promising albums, and also one of its least expected.” The album was so well received nationwide that K’Jon was nominated for the Best New Artist category at the 2010 NAACP Image Awards!
K’Jon’s smash single “On the Ocean” set a record for having the longest running single on Billboard’s Hot R&B /Hip Hop song which was 75 weeks, surpassing platinum selling artist Mary J Blige’s single “Be Without You”. With a compilation of soul infused ballads, this album is the epitome of class and passion which is why Billboard listed it as one of the Top 50 R&B albums of 2009…these are undoubtedly noteworthy accomplishments!
While K’Jon is in the works of completing his sophomore album due late summer, he is currently promoting his third mix tape “K’Jon Presents: Nick Speed and the Detroit Connect” which features local hip hop artists and singers from his hometown of Detroit.

Every once in a while, there comes along an artist who has so much substance and knowledge that they effectively change the norm. The words they speak and the stories they tell do something to our minds and hearts that allow us to recognize their realness and credibility so much that imposters take cover. Besides aiming to inspire, motivate, and reach, all those who come into contact with their craft, there is also a genuine bond born. In an industry where many claim the true essence of its origin is dead, Crime is determined to bring Hip-Hop back to life.
“Hip Hop, for lack of a better analogy, is in a rebuilding phase,” claims Crime. “I think some artist have wavered from the true concept and culture. While music is supposed to make you dance and have a good time, it’s still supposed to tell a story. A story that causes relation and thought between the listener and the artist.”
